The Bottom Drawer by Foster Trecost
The soft couch encouraged recollection. The locked door made it more difficult. A space heater ticked rhythmically in the corner. Lying prone, Johnson stared at the ceiling, and into his past.

I'm not writing as much, therfore not submitting as much, therefore not publishing as much, but woke this morning to an acceptance. Still feels as good as the first, over 20 years ago. Note to self: write more, write better.

I can't believe it's almost time to make my Masters picks. I run a fantasy league at my paying job (I like my non-paying job better)..

Our senses are important & help us make sense of the world around us. But sometimes they're overrated & all we really need to interpret our surroundings is a child-like imagination. This is "The Over-Rated Importance of Sound" by Foster Trecost.

I don't really mind rejections but it'd be nice to get fewer of them. I know, I know - write better stories.

I wrote my first short story when I was 13. It was about a serial killer who took his victims in elevators, so everyone started taking the stairs instead. An unforeseen byproduct was that they all got in better shape. Something like that, it was a long time ago.
