About a month ago my short story "H.A.N.D." received honourable mention from L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future. My late father would've been tickled pink, as he was a fan of Hubbard.
If you'd like to read H.A.N.D. (it's only 11 pages) please email me at publisher@brandonkeaton.com and I'll provide you with a PDF for free.
That customer was a whole mood.
Thanks for sending it to me, B.T. I've got to ask, was the Fred character a dig at Ken Copeland? 😆 I laughed out a few times, and again at the ending too
LOL I really liked the "Clerks" aspect to the whole thing, but also how unsettling the premise is. Wouldn't have expected any less of you, B!
