Fear of Frying - a short story by Diane Kimbrell

Although living in Quicksand could be considered a state of mind, it can be quite real, and escape may seem impossible for the more you struggle, the deeper you sink. I am a southern regional writer.
My miserably funny stories are survival guides that can strengthen your immune system, temporarily ease pain, and relieve stress. Proverbs 17.22 of the King James Bible states, “A merry heart doeth good like a medic.” So read two of my stories then subscribe. My stories have been compared to the paintings of Norman Rockwell that reveal charming as well as provocative scenes of American life told with the precision and detail of Eudora Welty. My credits include The Raleigh Review, River Walk Journal, Inc., and the Other Stories podcast. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, I also attended Columbia University and was awarded six Woolrich fellowships in writing. In addition, I attended New York University earning credits towards an MA in Drama Therapy.
