Short Story Friday has been revamped for 2015, and I’ll be sharing snippets from my own fiction pieces, mostly short stories. In addition to the new business, Poetic Book Tours, I’ll be writing and submitting more of my own fiction and poetry this year.
I hope you’ll offer your thoughts on this story that is currently in progress.
If you missed the first part posted last week, check it out here.
Finn would be the one I’d flirt with, but even though he’s new here, he already knows about my condition. That’s the high school grapevine for you. No way he’ll let me rely on it as flirting now. Besides, the blinking is too rapid.
He’s still sweet. He holds open doors for all the girls, even me. It reminds me of those books on my mother’s bookshelves. Men held doors for ladies and helped them into their seats at dinner, an idea as antiquated as my mother’s bookshelves.
All of my materials in school are digital and holograms teach us our lessons, making even human teachers obsolete. I guess it helped reduce student-teacher violence to zero. That’s something.
Please feel free to share your thoughts on this snippet and let me know what you think.
Nice! I’m looking forward to more.
Thanks for reading, Stacy
Ooh, a dystopian? Looking forward to reading more.
Might be, might not! Dunno yet!
The last paragraph is tantalizing – I’m looking forward to the next installment!
Thanks, Debbie. This is very early drafts and I’m not sure where it is going
