Two New Stories
First off, this might be all there is for a long time. I'm going on an indefinite hiatus - I just don't have time for writing anymore. Maybe in several months my job will slow down, and if I still have the writing bug I'll get back to into it. So, many thanks to my several loyal readers and everyone else who read and enjoyed my stories. It's been fun to share them with you.
These two new stories continue in the "semiautobiographical" theme I started in "At the RSI." Lest you think there are actually people out there having far more interesting sex lives than you, these stories are mostly fiction. However, they are based on an actual event that really happened to me. I'm not entirely happy with either of these stories, but since I'm not going to have time to fix them, I thought I'd let them out into the wild just as they are.
First up is "Back Trouble." The true event in this one is that I did really hurt my back badly (but temporarily) one summer day doing yardwork and I had to crawl back to my house for help. End of the real story. In the imaginary part, my daughter's friend comes along an rescues me, and finishes up by providing some unusuhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifal first aid. Story codes here are: f-solo, fm, reluc.
Second is "Rainstorm." What really happened is I saw a high school girl's cross-country running team practicing in a heavy rain while driving home from work one afternoon. They were soaking wet and looked miserable. I drove on right past them. What happens after that in this story is fiction. This one is told in a sort of Rashomon style, with everyone giving a little bit of the story from their own point of view, although my story has nothing to do with the nature of truth. I don't think it will confuse anyone, but I just wanted to point that out. Story codes are: ffm, ff, f-solo, pett
Once again, thanks for reading and all the kind words and encouragement. It makes a difference, and it's been a kick hearing from everyone. And even though I won't be writing anything for a while, I'd still appreciate your feedback on my latest stuff.
Thanks!
