New short story 'Funeral Gastronomy'

New short story 'Funeral Gastronomy' now out in Munyori Literary Journal:

"There is no dignity in dying and death, no matter what anyone says to the contrary, but there can be some satisfaction.

Nor do they know we were best friends, to them I am just one of his servants..." Read the Full Story here.
