Some of you may already know I write a periodic post on the Threads That Bind blog. It’s a forum for lovers of the dark in literature, film, and what have you.
The other day my friend Jack Tyler posted a top-drawer short tale about what ifs. Read it here.
I very much like Jack’s writing. The storytelling is straight forward, the dialogue is realistic, the characters are lifelike, and the description is just right.
In this story, you can see how much we learn about the characters from just the dialogue. The sign of a master craftsman.
“Wrong Turn” is the kind of story that draws you in and gets you thinking about the turns in your own life — both good and bad. A trip down What If Lane.
So treat yourself to a shorty about taking the wrong turn. It’s a bit sad, a touch philosophical, packs a hidden punch, and is very simply a whole lot of very good.
Comments are always welcome! And until next time, happy reading!
