This blog is what happens when I drink too much coffee, hang out with my cats, and have access to a computer. EndangeredSwimmer is primarily an athletic journal about an endangered species: open water swimmers in Mississippi. Occasionally, however, I pen some essays and even a piece of fiction from time to time. And just in case you are wondering, yes, Poot is a real person, and Randy Beets and I really do hate each other.

Seven Sentence Story
The teacher was running late after shooting posted signs on the back road while driving to school. He was short of breath as he piled out of his truck, the gun smoke clinging to his clothes. He shut the door at exactly 8:00 am and was nervous all day. During his planning period, he thought maybe he should shoot after work not before. Too many people drive the back roads that time of day. He was lost in thought when Principal Rake stormed into his classroom.
