A Story... and a half

Howdy folks.... I now have a new kitchen! ...well, sort of...

Just a few weeks more...

Anyway, how is everyone? I've mostly been meandering my way through the weeks, waiting to move, both house and job (I'm getting an internal transfer). Haven't been to Sydney for a couple of months and am itching a little to visit, but will be another couple of months I think before I make a trip there.

I mentioned a couple of months that I had written a new short story. In fact, it was the first completed story I had written since high school (so about a seven year gap). I showed the story to a few friends, and one response was that it was not "happy" enough! This despite my preference for tragedies. So, to try something different, I rewrote the ending. The result was almost sickenly "happy"... (and haven't dared yet to read it again)... but it was fun to write and a most unusual (different ) piece for me. I'll let you judge for yourself. I'd recommend reading the original first, then the revised version. Hope you enjoy the read. Let me know what you think.

Thanks Nay and Daniel! Am glad you enjoyed the stories =) Next one will probably be a sad one. hehe... I like Westlife too!

Jen: look forward to your return to your blog =) Don't worry Jen, it's not exactly the height of literature, just something that stemmed from an idea.
