1) What is your Short Story about?

It’s about an elderly man in a coffee shop who reads the only part left of a newspaper-the obituary page. Reading about the fulfilling and meaningful lives of others and their families leaves him despondent about his own. Never married he is alone in the world and feels all he has is his name. He wonders who will write his?

It was based on a prompt from one of my writing classes.

I don’t typical watch movie’s over again. But if I had to name one I saw more than once it was Shawshank Redemption.

I have a travel/memoir book coming out on October 6 of this year published by Buddhapuss Ink and I am working on the first rewrites of a novel.
