This is the first draft of the story that eventually became Routine - my first story post on WordPress. This one is a little little long, a little self-indulgent and lacks any real pay-off. I bet you can't wait to read it now! On the positive side of things, this was my first attempt at … Continue reading A Story Short

The Spontaneous Combustion of Jeremy Irons (Version 4.0, 1st Draft)
The last thing I completed in 2011 and the last assignment for last semester's Storytelling class. The brief for this assignment was: a tale of suspense.
