The short story that I have published this week is based on a news story that I found remarkably amusing, so much so that other than change the setting from England to someplace in the United States, a locale I felt more comfortable in using the setting, and to create a hapless character whose internal ruminations might explain a murder, I took very vew liberties with the basic concept, the concept being both funny and ironic.
The main difference between this story and the previous offerings, A Letter from Sizzy, and A Cherokee Dying, is that I wrote this story in the form of poetic prose. Story poems are one of the earliest forms of literature in a many different cultures and I believe the rythmn, cadence and rhyming, both overt and internal, create a sense of continuity from beginning to end. I think the story is a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy it.
