There are stories that are like a curse. Stories you care about so much that you can’t let them go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I once wrote one of these stories, and it\u2019s 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.

Long story short, today it\u2019s up at Fiction on the Web<\/a><\/strong>. And I thank Charlie Fish and Rick Taliaferro for giving it a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s titled \u201cThus the Circle Closes\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
