Storyblogging Carnival LXXXVIII
http://www.donaldscrankshaw.com/posts/1212451368.shtml


   Welcome to the eighty-eighth Storyblogging Carnival. We have seven
   stories this time, from both newcomers, and some old-timers (including
   me).
   One thing I'm getting tired of are submissions which aren't stories.
   Some of the carnival submission places allow you to submit to a lot of
   carnivals at once, and you can tell that some people just check off
   everyone there, including the Storyblogging Carnival. If it's close, I
   usually give it the benefit of the doubt, but posts explaining
   marketing or self-improvement strategies definitely do not count.
   But enough ranting. Please enjoy the entries that do qualify as
   stories.

   [5]Changes, Part II ([6]First Part)
   by Tom Harrison of [7]Monday Evening
   The next 550 words of a 3,000 word short story.
   Was it the botched attack Private Rodriguez remembers, or the

   grow more difficult and disturbing.

   by JC of [9]Simply Jews
