A to Z Challenge Warning

No, this isn't a content warning.  At worst, content will be at PG-13 level, with nothing lewd.  This brief warning is to note that some of the stories here in the Ravenous Maw will exceed the suggested 300-word maximum for A to Z posts.  The first post may approach 1,000 words, but hopefully the majority will fall from 300 to 500 words.  My median word count for flash fiction is 310 and my mean rounds to 319, so I definitely have experience writing 300-word stories, it's just really tough with my pseudo-theme to pack everything that needs to be presented into so few words.  Then again, due to time crunches, there may very well be a few pieces at drabble-length.  Anyway, please bear with me for word count.  If a post appears to be too long for the amount of time you have to spend on it, feel free to skip it and move on to other blogs participating in the Challenge.  Good luck, everybody!
