Hey everybody! Wow, there's only one story left. Anyway, this week's story goes back a long way. Months ago, I was brainstorming on what story to write that week and my dad suggested that I write a story from the point of view of a napkin. Initially, I dismissed the idea, but it grew on me, and now I've decided to give it a try. I'd love to know what you thought! :)
Title: The Napkin Story
Warnings: none
Summary: A napkin learns a few things about life, security, and what it means to be a napkin.
Length: ~1,650 words
Notes: First person point of view, present tense. Genre is other.
My goal: To write one short story a week for a year for a total of 52 short stories. If you like reading and/or seeing people challenge themselves, this is a good blog to follow!

Story #32 - Charleston County
Hi everyone! This story's a bit different than my usual. I had fun with it. It involves a sort of distant, semi-ominescent narrator and a more specific setting than is used in most of my stories. Also, it has only second-hand action and little dialogue, and a very specific voice. I'd love to know what you think about it! :)
Title: Charleston County
Warnings: references to bullying
Summary: Charleston County - "Where even the squirrels can do no wrong."
Length: ~2,000 words
Notes: First person point of view, past tense. Genre is... um... I'm going to put it as "other" for the moment.

Story #27 - Identical
Hi everybody! This week's story was inspired by a building that I saw while I was in New York. It was an imposing brick building, labeled "Queenborogh Correctional Facility." It made me think of what it would be like to be living there. And then I had a conversation during dinner yesterday about identical twins. And, well, this is what the story turned into! I'm pretty happy with it. Enjoy! :)
Title: Identical (suggestions welcome)
Warnings: mentions of past criminal activity and possible present criminal activity, very slight languange
Summary: Neil and Nick like to trick people. And it's so easy, too.
Length: 2,450 words
Notes: Third person point of view, past tense. I'm not sure what the genre is. There's a bit of romance, and then some kind of family/brotherly stuff. So I'm going to go with "other."
