Time for a bit of Friday Flash once again. This is one I wrote originally in response to a Friday Fictioneers prompt – an image of snow – and then extended for my writing group (prompt Spider). Just one that fell out really. Gingerbread Kisses Harold Snow wiped his hands down his apron and admired … More Friday Flash: Gingerbread Kisses
