Writing a novel is a long and arduous process. Especially when you have a full-time job to take care of, on the side. I've taken a short break from my second novel to write a short story. Short stories are a great American genre in literature. The author must accomplish what he does in a novel but he must get to the point with a lot fewer words. Read a few of Hemingway's short stories and you'll see exactly what I mean. Short stories are capable of poignancy and impact simply because the apex of the story comes around much sooner. They're challenging and fun, I'd thought I'd try my hand at it.
Regrettably, not everyone is into novels. I can only hope that my novels will change that for some of you...;) What I tried to do in my story is create a very interesting character. To take you into some of the deepest and darkest secrets of his life. And how he deals with a life and death situation. I think it might be the best half hour of your day. Go on, read it. I dare you...
