I’ve Begun a New Fictional Serial Short Story

Happy New Year! I’ve begun a draft of a new fictional serial short story under development. Working title: Blood.

Below are the first few lines of the first installment. You can read the whole serial story over time at http://imaginingsofagratefulman.com.

Blood
by Russ Towne

The man was in his early forties. A trickle of sweat dripped down his forehead, stinging his right eye. He blinked rapidly, his eyes already irritated by too little sleep for too long. White lines rushed by, along with everything else he saw with blurry eyes.

He stomped on the accelerator and the engine bucked and roared in protest but complied, a wheeled horse being raked with vicious spurs.

      LOL! I’ve learned that when the flow starts it is best and easiest just to start writing than it is to try to stop it. Thank you for your kind comment, Diana.
