GD Deckard’s “HOW TO TELL IF YOUR SOCK IS ON THE WRONG FOOT” in The Rabbit Hole VII: Not From Here

I asked fellow The Rabbit Hole VII: Not From Here anthology contributors to share some things about themselves prior to publication and those generous enough to do so will be appearing here for the next week or so.

Each entry gives a taste of their contribution, a little about them, how to contact them, how their story came about, and definitely a link to The Rabbit Hole VII: Not From Here (which you should purchase because it would make each and every one of us happy.
you do want to make us happy, don’t you?
i mean, considering what we wrote, you want us to know you’re a good person, right?).

And now, GD Deckard’s HOW TO TELL IF YOUR SOCK IS ON THE WRONG FOOT:

The home looked like any other on the street. It was a two-story house of white clapboard. The roof was steeply peaked to let the winter snows slide off. Steps in the front led up to a porch that wrapped around to one side. A red brick chimney rose up the other side of the house. And the smell of fresh cut lawn gave it the familiar air of just another midwestern home.
Only, it hadn’t been there yesterday.


How the story came about:
I got the idea from Schrödinger’s cat. After all, the only way to tell if your sock is on the wrong foot is to look.

About GD Deckard:
GD Deckard, severely beaten as a child by a WWII hero -and combat induced PTSD- stepfather, as a teen, faced the old man down with a shotgun and earned his blessing to join the military at the time Americans were learning about a country called Vietnam. The “lazy, no-good son-of-a-bitch” opted out of combat and hard labor by becoming an Air Force medic, stamping out suffering and misery on Freedom’s Frontier at Clark Hospital in S.E. Asia and earning some kind of medal personally pinned on him by then Secretary of the Air Force, Harold Brown, for “Saving lives, etc.” There followed a summer in Europe ending in the first of many happy marriages. Then graduation with University Honors, kids worth dying for and a career in business. Life is good.
Author, The Phoenix Diary. Founder, Sci – Fi Lampoon Magazine. Cofounder, WritersCo-op.com.
