My Short Story

I'm still up. I had too much coffee, I guess. Anyway, I decided not to edit anything tonight. But I wanted to write, so I started thinking about the short story that's due on May 31st.

I was having some trouble dealing with the 28 pages I wrote last summer. So I revisited the mess and came up with an idea I'm happy about. Cool. That's all.

But I did deliver it that sunny Saturday afternoon, sandwiched between a baptism and a wedding. I decided to share it publicl
