It has been awhile since I released a short story. Personally, I find writing a manuscript more fulfilling because of the details I can add to the story. However, sometimes you get bitten by the bug and decide to write something that pops into your mind. This piece hit me while I was rabbit sitting my friend’s bunny. Luckily, I had my computer on me and half a battery. Two hours later, the rough draft was done. Another hour, and the second draft was edited. A couple of emails between me and my editor, and the final piece was complete. Here is an excerpt from Time my new short story:
“I’m next, John!” John had fallen asleep leaning against a golden pole with red velvet ropes. His new found friend grabbed him by the shoulder and shook him awake.
With a startle, John popped to attention, “What? Where, what, are we there, uh—”
The man interrupted John’s disjunctive questioning, “You dozed off again. You know you don’t have to sleep anymore.”
