DELTA SHORTS – DELTA SHORTS will be a regular, sometimes serialized compilation of very short fictional stories also known as “flash” or “sudden” fiction. The author, William Prentiss, will use an array of techniques crossing multiple genres to tell tales grounded in Delta pathos and reality. The often-macabre stories will at times reflect the baseness found in humanity so that the good seen daily around us will shine all the brighter. All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

GUEST BOHEMIANS – Contributing writers and artists who are either from the Mississippi Delta or who love this unique place, too. Some of our contributing writers include Mr. Lil John McKee, an oh-so-bright Mississippi Delta farmer with his very own quirky side, and John “Driftwood Johnie” Ruskey, the renaissance man and owner of Quapaw Canoe Company.

MALACHI MONTROY – Malachi Montroy regularly writes short and insightful reflections about life. Each Malachi is spontaneously generated and given to Chilly Billy when he least expects it. He numbers them in sequential order but shares them randomly with you, our reader. The Malachi Moment posts are an exploration of an original Malachi, often transpiring in a conversational setting.

Here on The DB, Chilly Billy and Magical Madge share random Malachis and how they interpret them in the present. We invite you to read the Malachi Moments, each one numbered and randomly shared, and use it as a launching pad for your own reflection, either alone or where two or more are gathered. Have fun with it and see where it takes you.

PONTIFICUS MINIMUS – Pontificus Minimus is a contemplator ”of low estate” who loves to opine from a Judeo-Christian worldview about things that matter and things that don’t. While still retaining much of his hereditary jocularity, he is a dram more serious than his dear brother, Poor William/Chilly Billy, also a lad of very low estate! The title of Pontifex Maximus became one of those held by the Roman emperor, and the Pope is often referred to as the Pontifex Maximus–the head bridge builder or the highest priest in Rome. Pontificus Minimus desires to build bridges between the world of faith and the world looking for faith! Alas, he is but a mere lad with big plans!
