RE: A Short Story for The Ink Well Prompt #53

[agmoore]

Hello my colleague and friend, @yaziris. I'm glad you like the 'hook'. Some might find it a little lean, but that's how I write. Sometimes I joke that the perfect story, if I ever write it, will have one word.

I tried to create unity, like a circle, from beginning to end, to wrap it up. Something neat about that. It is a sad situation. No Norman Rockwell, soft tone here. This is a reality that many people live.

Thank so much for reading my story and for your positive feedback. I rarely write stories (for publication) because it feels risky. This time it was worth the risk.

Hope you are well, and peaceful right now.

Hahaha, thank you for planting this idea in my mind. Now I'm thinking of a way to do that.. But even "The End" are 2 words. 😅

Sad but true, I'm sure many can relate to that story one way or another. Even utilizing the pipe the kids used to play with to eavesdrop was a small but great detail.

I totally hear you. I'd rather spend a week or more preparing and writing science article than writing a story.
