Short Story: Meeting Your Idol<\/a><\/p>\nby Gransom Hayes<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Author comments: I suppose most of us have heard the cliche ‘never meet your idols.’ But what if you did? I asked that questions and this story came to mind. It’s a little suspense\/drama about one guy’s experience meeting the person he admires most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short story: Too Soon<\/a><\/p>\nby Gransom Hayes<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Author comments: Few things affect me like the notion of a grieving widow. Everyone of us understands what goes into a meaningful relationship. To have that torn away after so many years together is unthinkable. But what if she were to learn about an ugly truth revolving around that loss? Watch the suspense unfold along her path to discovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short story: The Talk<\/a><\/p>\nby Gransom Hayes<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Author comments: Few things anger me more than when men, and boys for that matter, act disparagingly towards women. I\u2019ve often wondered how a father might handle a situation where his son had been exposed, at too young an age, to some sort of online ugliness meant for adults only. What could he say to alleviate the shock of seeing that for the first time and what’s worse, in a demeaning context? This is an innocent heart-felt conversation between father and son about a serious topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short Story: Angry Barista<\/a><\/p>\nby Gransom Hayes<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Author comments: We all rely on people who work in the service industry. When I see someone being rude or mistreating someone only trying to help, it makes me wonder if this person considered what the server, cashier or repair tech might be going through at the moment? It doesn’t take much to be a little more forgiving…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

coming soon<\/p>\nby Gransom Hayes<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Author comments: next short coming soon…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
