another story

Might as well link another story I got published online this month. I don't have much to say about this. I think I was trying to come up with a story for an anthology looking for b-movie like tales. I came up witha mole rat story, sort of, and then I was almost instantly bored with the idea and instead I remembered a story this guy told me - that he lived in the desert in 60s and how he and his buddies were indian extras for a few awful Westerns. I put the two ideas together and this came out. This is very much in my wheel house, how someone older finds hope in a past that might not be real. I might have to stop writing that story, but hell, it works for me for now.

Story of Love

So here is a story I wrote a month back and was published by Daily Love. I took the title and the landmarks from my morning commute through Worcester. I saw the homeless person holding the sign mentioned in the story and I went from there. Because I was driving through Kelly Square at the time I gave my self permission to use the real place and the real traffic, it makes it easier when you write to not always create things from whole cloth. Lazy lazy lazy writer, no comma soup for you!!!!
