April Fools Day Pranks

Well folks, I admit it. I have a weird sense of humor and like to play the occasional trick on people. Using the skills, photo collection and website I have developed here to support the Maine Line, I occasionally like to have a bit of fun by letting my creative (fictional) writing side out. Here are the April Fools Day prank issues I've released. Despite the tongue-in-cheek creative writing, I really do enjoy these issues as they let me do a little fiction in a serious world.

Enjoy!
