Here’s a story I wrote two years ago. It workshopped very well, and peers and instructors I respect a great deal liked it. No mags want it, so I’m sharing it here. It’s up at Fictionaut. It’s also an excuse for me to post pictures like these:

Damn straight, brother; Amen. The change in point-of-view really threw me at first, but I think I have the beginnings of understanding. Assuming it’s true to life, that EPT-related vignette is such a, err, Ricky-ish thing to have happened.
