Also, here, have a short story I was working on this semester that I ended up liking. It still needs some editing, but it's my favorite out of all I wrote for the class. It's been such a long time since I worked on a written story, and working on this made me kick myself for not doing it more. Anyway, here it is. It's called "Ellen".
( The problem with Facebook, Maggie figured, was that it makes you feel compelled to rekindle old connections that probably were better off forgotten. She knew she should have trusted that weird feeling in her gut when she saw that Ellen Anderson (nee Lennox) had friended (she noticed how the verb was now “friend,” instead of “befriend”) her after 19 years of silence. )
