What a great title! And great promise of dramatic conflict. I am looking forward to reading this one.


Wow! Thank you so much! Hopefully, you'll like it. 

I agree. Gorgeous title - and a really thoughtful, heart-rendering story from the sounds of it.

Group 59: Comedy + 'around-the-clock' + a motorcyclist:

Around the Clock and Back Again
Oscar's going home. He's been nine years old for six years now, and he'd like a word with his grandmother.

My first foray into the NYC Midnight short story contest, or any writing contest for that matter. I've always been very good at starting stories. Finishing them, not so much. With the help of a most talented collection of beta readers, I've learned to recognise my addiction to adjectives. One day, I may even do something about that...
