Storyblogging Carnival CXII

Welcome to the 112th Storyblogging Carnival. This is our sixth anniversary edition.  If you're wondering how six divides into 112, I have to admit that the carnival's period has varied over its life.  Originally, the carnival occurred every two weeks, but we reduced its frequency once we'd gone through people's repertoire and had to give them more time to write stories.  We also skipped a few due to moves and other life distractions.

Home Sweet Home
by Thom McNeilly of The Blog of Thom McNeilly
An 1,464 word short story rated R.

"Nigel Kingsley looked down at the crumpled heap in the dark doorway and sneered. The disgust he felt for the woman looking up at him with her grimy face was unparalleled. Leaning on his walking cane, something he never left home without, Kingsley considered spiting in the tramp’s face, but at the last moment he decided to have some fun with her instead."
