Heard u read "The Bus Stop." Don't have much to say about it. Wish I knew why it ended the way it did. I didn't understand a few words but I don't know if that was u or me. I miss a few words from time to time. Don't have the time or interest to read it. Glad it's getting published. I guess that means money for you. The man in the picture seems to be smiling, not on the verge of crying.
Thanks for subscribing to Short Stories by Scott Holleran and listening to “The Bus Stop”, Jack. The story’s not everyone’s type of fiction. Pictures aside, of course, as you know from listening to the author audio version, the adult in the story is not crying during the entire encounter at the bus stop. It’s a buildup. The ending is exact to my purpose in writing the short story. The narrator reveals the artistic tie-in and traces the wonder to the daily ritual and its ultimate commencement day outcome. I hope the audience, whether the reader and listener, gains value from “The Bus Stop.” If you listened to the episode, you also know it’s based on my own firsthand observation of a similar encounter between man and boy at a bus stop.
Thinking of you, Scott. So sorry to hear about your father's passing.
Congratulations on reaching toward your writing goals. Keep at it.
Thank you, Lance, on both counts. You, too.
