It isn’t a perfect story, although a friend kindly called it
that. The Main Muse says it is the best story I’ve written. What I know for
sure is that it is as good as anything I’ve written. It turned out just the way
I saw it when I began writing it, and it surprised me several times along the
way. Most of my short stories leave the “ending” to the reader. This one comes
to a definite conclusion, and manages to still have a future. I like it very
much. It makes me hopeful about the next
project.
Now I need to find somebody who will pay me to publish it.
Writing stories is a low-overhead endeavor, but it is necessary to try to wring
a little money out of it so one can pay some of the bills that piled up while
writing.
Wade in the Water recounts
William Erwin’s escape from the local eldercare facility, and it reminds us that every escape from somewhere is an escape to somewhere else. When his story finds a home, I’ll let you
know where to read it.
