Waiting – A Short Story

In general I don’t care for the short story form – I prefer longer works. Plus, I agree with Mark Twain’s sentiment about shorter things (sure, he was talking about a letter, but whatever) being more difficult to write than longer works.
However, now and again I get bit by the short story bug, and one comes out before I get a chance to do anything about it. Thus, “Waiting.”
Since I like experimenting with different mediums, I also recorded an audio version.
Here is the text version, on Scribd.com

I run a site that promos self-pubbed and independently pubbed authors. I will plug at the end. I agree with your experiment idea…I think sponser paid ebooks would be an interesting experiment. I also read your piece on the idea of ebook readers being interactive. It is time to break the mold on books and quit trying to copy the comfort of a book on ebook devices. Interestingly enough, it is even hard to get authors into the mindset of ebook selling. Ebooks are looked at as a media for book reviews; re-education of both readers and authors is necsassary. Keep up the great blog. I don’t follow many blogs outside of industry blogs, but I will keep this one.
