An entire day of the week has disappeared. That's normal, right?
In What About Tuesday? Adam Wilson reminds us that should you ever wake up to find a day of the week missing due to a freak abnormality in the nature of space-time, it's probably a good idea not to mention it to anyone.
Seriously. Just leave it alone. Definitely don't hire a private investigator.
Oh, and definitely don't ask questions. Forget anything happened.
Because, technically, nothing did.

Join Joanie, Diane, and Bette on a slow-paced, arthritic thrill ride of geriatric proportions.
This short fiction is the perfect gift for anyone who loves a car chase, diner squabbles, or "Golden Girls" squad goals. This is a story for the ages (and the ageless) that reminds us that memories are only as strong as those that carry them.
A weekly diner breakfast quickly escalates into three old ladies out on the lam with a gun, stolen cash, and a hostage. And don't even get Joanie started on her sciatic nerve. With the Ocean City PD slowly closing in, the ladies' relationships and personal histories will be tested. Because youth and beauty may come and go, but some people you just can’t shake.

Can they find each other before they lose everything?
