the al green story?

 

 

Today's short story, "Grits," waiting to be written. Frank O'Connor said there were three necessary elements in a short story: 1. Exposition: Carolyn Brown lived with her boyfriend in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. 2. Development: One day her boyfriend told her he was leaving her.  3. Drama: “No, you’re not,” she said.  (thanks to Beth in Roanoke) Here's another story, "Elder Care." 1. Exposition. Laura Lundquist lived at Brandon Woods Nursing Home in Dartmouth, Mass. 2. Development: One day her roommate told her she was moving a table away from her bedside. 3. Drama: "No you're not," Laura said.
