Modern setting, Realistic theme.
“Seeing Red” was one of the first short stories I wrote.
“Rain Dance” was written for a short story competition. However, I could not seem to reduce it to 1000 words. So it never was entered.
Inspiration is an odd thing: I was reading the reviews online for a pair of shoes and found a review written by a mom about buying the shoes for her son. She was praising the shoes for being waterproof sneakers. I wondered what her son thought.
A red car. A teenager. An old man.
Not a formula for a pleasant Sunday drive in the country…
