New Short Story

Hello Faithful Readers,

This month I do not have a story about Japan. With ample time at a desk and little responsibility this month, I decided to finish a short story that I began last year. It's fiction, so has nothing to do with any of this experience (at least not in any direct way) but I hope you still find it worth your time.

The story comes with both a warning and a request.

First the warning: It's long. That is to say, it's a short story and is longer than my quick entries that you normally read. I would suggest printing it out and reading it when you can sit down with a nice glass of wine (or if you're under age, than a can of bad beer). It may take twenty minutes or so.

Also, formatting from a Word Document to the Blogger interface is more than my technology challenged brain can handle, so there may be weird errors between paragraph, sentence and word spacing. I apologize. Any grammar or spelling errors I will also blame on Blogger.

Now the request. I am curious about what people think of my stories. In this case, if you do read it (and I hope that you do) I would love to hear what you think. Be it praise or criticism, as long as it is honest, I will appreciate hearing it. Since you may not want to leave a comment for all to see, feel free to email me or send me a message on Facebook. I would love to hear from you.

The story can be found both on the link below, or in the "Writing Projects" tab above.
