I'm writing a short story right now. Literally right now, taking only a break to post on Pubski. It might take me the whole day, maybe the week. I think when I'm done with it though, I'll post it on Hubski. I don't have any better place to put it and I think it'd be a shame to put effort into something only to tuck it away.

At first I was gonna make it a fantasy setting, but then I figured I think while games like D&D and MorrowWind are fun to play, fantasies tend to be pretty silly. So then I was gonna make it a western setting, but I don't think I could do the genre any justice. Guys like Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour have pretty big boots that I don't think I could even try to fill. So, I'm gonna make it modern, but open ended if I ever want to visit the story again. Who knows? Maybe through some Twilight Zone events they'll find themselves in a fantasy or western setting.

It's about two travelers by the way, one mad at the other because he thinks God commanded him to burn their food. I dunno how it's gonna turn out. Reading is hard. Writing is harder.

Edit: Here it is.
