After the hurricane, we were inextricably bound by the new calendar that defined our lives. Forever more, all things would be divided into before- or after-Marilyn.

But, as happens, somewhere over the hard months afterwards, recovery became recovered.

Published in the July 21, 2014 "Great Friendships" issue of Infective Ink..."the expansion and consumption of the fiction section at NaughtyGirlx.com. NGX was dedicated to humour and found that the majority of the fiction we rejected was really quite good, but did not meet our humour requirement. Turning away wonderful stories soon became tiresome, and the seed of Infection was born.
