The Story Behind this Story
When I began writing this little tale I had several endings in mind, endings that bordered on the…”dark”, shall we say. As I revised it, the story presented a different ending, so I ran with it.
People seem to like it very much, and yes, the ending does surprise them. Fifty-word story mission accomplished!
