The first. Punctuation is horrible, now
when I look back on it a year later.
Company
Town (2018.05.01)
- Speculative Fiction (3,206 words; 17,470 chars)
The one with the greatest potential for a
Made-for-TV movie, but, the execution is still poor.
The
Puzzling case of Sarafina Clark (2018.05.10) - Speculative
Fiction (3,105 words; 17,208 chars)
I didn't consciously intend to, but it has one of
the things I like best . . . a story within a story.
So,
now what? (2018.06.21) - Science Fiction (3,375
words; 18,398 chars)
Some stories, you have to write just to purge
demons from the past.
See
if the Old Man can fix it (2018.07.04)
- Science Fiction (4,759 words; 25,991 chars)
My favorite (and the longest so far).
Yes
Josephine's has Anchovies. (2018.07.25) - Fantasy
(3,021 words; 16,668 chars)
All of these stories exist within the same
framework. Some of these characters may appear again.
Our
First Date
(2018.08.01) - Science Fiction (2,408 words; 13,147
chars)
Again, a tiny part of a larger overall story. You
get a
furious blast from it here, and pieces of the overall story throughout
the other stories.
Morning
Coffee in a Small Town (2018.09.04) - Science Fiction
(1,565 words; 8,691 chars)
My second favorite. (And one of the
higher liked on Reddit.)
PESDCAA
201 (2018.09.12) - Futurology / Science Fiction
(3,235 words; 19,044 chars)
Something different.
The
Rescue Edit (2018.11.29) - Science Fiction (4,146
words; 28,972 chars)
I could write a hundred stories like this one.
But, you can't fix everything.
The
Wolf You Feed (2019.02.19) - Misc. Fiction (1,564
words; 8,319 chars)
Partial short story, partial ruminations after
reading "Facing Violence" by Rory Miller (a great book).
The
Visitor (2019.03.06) - Science Fiction (1,557
words; 9,225 chars)
More pieces of a large whole.
Leonard
goes on a date (2019.05.23) - Fantasy (4,114 words;
22,568 chars)
Everyone has their own spin on the story.
I tried to write how I thought it would "really" happen.
Don't
Tell Grandma (2019.07.29) - Fantasy (2,155 words;
11,557 chars)
I saw an ad for 911, and thought of Peter Kraus, and the only
episode of Parenthood I'd ever seen, add in grandma from something the
night before. . .
The
Spirit is Willing . . . (2020.02.02) - Science Fiction
(2,902 words; 14,768 chars)
Another part of a very large whole.
Shiny
(2020.02.19) - Science Fiction (3,544 words; 19,608
chars)
Just another day in a farm families life.
The
Choice (2020.07.11) - Misc Fiction (1,614 words;
8,952 chars)
The story I hated most in school was "The Lady and the
Tiger".
Now it seems most of mine also have no clear answers.
The
Green Lady (2021.07.07) - Misc Fiction (1,411
words; 7,742 chars)
I had in mind a real celebrity telling the story to an
interviewer. And even envisioned "The Actress", but . . . it
seems rude to use real people I don't know, in a fictional story.
So, "The names have been changed to protect the innocent."
"Cellophane" (2023.03.14) - Science Fiction (1,916
words; 11,029 chars)
"Grandma, what did you do during the war?"
"Paige & Caroline" (2023.05.27) - Science Fiction (3,622
words; 20,273 chars)
"Paige . . . the page"
