The Waiting 4
No prompt this time, but I’m still sticking to the theme of waiting. I like the idea of the story below, but I don’t think it’s quite fleshed out just yet. Luckily, that’s okay. This…
The Waiting 3
I’m having too much fun with this whole thematic thing to stop, so here’s story number 3 on the concept of waiting. As I mentioned last week, these stories aren’t a part of a traditional…
