Monday Musing: Monstrous Attack
D.K. Wall - Small Towns / Big Lives
07/19/23 • 7 min
For nearly three years, I’ve started off each week with a written musing—a short story, a recitation of something that happened, an essay, or just a random thought. This week, I thought I would do something different and record it.
An expected encounter during our morning dog walk created a wee bit of excitement, especially since I had some challenge seeing my attacker clearly and couldn’t convince him to go away.
As always, my musings are 100% true—except for the parts I make up—or embellish.

Monday Musing: Waning Days of Summer
D.K. Wall - Small Towns / Big Lives
08/13/23 • 13 min
In these waning days of summer, teachers prepare classrooms for the return of students and neighborhood kids play their last games. Seeing the annual rite, memories of my own care-free times bubbled to the surface. As so often happens, reality, memories, and fiction wove a story together in my mind.
As always, my musings are 100% true—except for the parts I make up. Confession. This week’s might be more made up than not.
