Choices, a conversation overheard by Dean Vandusen
It was a dark and stormy night
...no, no, no that’s no
way to start a story.
OK, what do you suggest?
Well what type of story do you wish to write?
Don’t know horror or perhaps a murder mystery.
Do you really have any idea on how it will develop?
No, not really.
Tell you what, I saw a shop in the mall that might be able
to help you, it kind just appeared, don’t remember seeing it before.
So how would that help me?
Well this old guy that is the proprietor said he had just
the thing to help your writing, heck he even knew your name.
do-Do-do-dodo-Do-due
.... time passing...
Heck what happened to you, your not looking too good.
That, store.. There’s real magic there...I asked the
proprietor...he said he had been waiting for me...yeah I told him about wanting
to write a horror story, he said he had just the thing to help.
What? Oh he helped me hire a pair of ghost writers,
real mean looking characters, but they sure know
the steamy side of life. Any how he said that they were working off a debt to
him and that I would, in effect, be sub leasing their employment.
Said that I’d be the leaser of two evils..
Very good. How does one
Very good. How does one start a story??
I am not a good writer, so I just sit down and start typing. I love to write and always have. My problem is that I don't know what is going to happen next in my stories. Perhaps that isn't the way to go, but like I said, I am not a good author.
'nuff said.
The owner of the store gave you the best advice ---
For a horror story, hire a couple of ghost writers
Boo - now and always,

Excellent "Choice" for a submission
When I finally finished laughing and picked myself up from the floor, by my bootstraps, I felt I simply must provide a comment concerns your short presentation.
Leaser of two evils...
Pardon me, had to get up from the floor again.
Exactly how do you pay a ghost?
What form of currency do they accept?
Possibly someone who may believe in them, or at least offer them a sanctuary wherein they may ply their trade upon the unsuspecting... Or do they require you to be unsuspecting???
Loved the short... Keep it up Dean
