New short story. I jotted down some ideas for this short story back in May when they first occurred to me but I was too tired or busy to actually write the story. And today I thought, welp, why don’t I write it.<\/p>\n
I love when I write down notes for a story and actually do come back to it. It’s especially nice when all the notes come together into something relatively cohesive, coherent, and concise.<\/p>\n
(Yes, concise. Your long-blathering author has written a 2,400-word short story for once.)<\/p>\n
This one feels pretty personal. The details of the story all have their roots in something that happened to me, though as the details actually bloomed, they’re not the same colors or shapes as the real-life versions.<\/p>\n
It’s about hypothetical questions, illness, sexism, disability, assumptions, and not being heard by a friend.<\/p>\n
