Doing creative things is fun and all, but sharing them is even better. So, for your enjoyment and mine, I’m going to start publishing my short stories on a semi-regular basis on this site. I’ve also created a second blog, Impulse: The Works, as a box for stories, screenplays, and other work — sort of an automatic anthology.
With that, here is the first story: “Natiki”. I hope you like it. I abolutely love comments and feedback.
“Natiki” is a story I wrote for a writing group I’m involved in. The writing prompt was simply, “childhood”. I chose not to write a typically sentimental stories. I wanted show children living in war ravaged countries and how, despite the harsh environment, kids still find ways to be children for as long as they can. The excellent movie Lord of War inspired me to write about a girl in africa. I was also moved by photographs by Peter Turnley, Robert Doisneau, and Sebastiao Salgado.
