Born and raised in Nebraska, Merry Muhsman is sometimes a fantasy writer, sometimes a nonfiction writer, sometimes a flash fiction writer. Basically, she’s a writer of a lot of styles. She reads a lot of different styles, too, which often influence her writing. As Forest Gump once said, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.” And so is the case of this site. Merry still lives on a farm with her husband and son, a dog and lots of cats.

A micro-fiction story based on a true story.

I submitted this story for a micro-fiction contest. The story had to be 25-50 words, in a list. Since I didn’t win, I can share it here. My fantasy WIP chapter 2 is in progress. Hoping to share it soon!
