There are stories that are like a curse. Stories you care about so much that you can’t let them go.
I once wrote one of these stories, and it’s been locked in a drawer for years. Then I decided to include it in a short story collection, but it turned out to be a disaster. I tried to forget it and I thought I had. But I was wrong, of course. So, a few months ago, I completely revised it to a brand-new version and submitted it to literary magazines.
Long story short, today it’s up at Fiction on the Web. And I thank Charlie Fish and Rick Taliaferro for giving it a chance.
It’s titled “Thus the Circle Closes”.
