My Latest!

I've managed another, bending to the supplications of the sadists among you.  It's about a boy and girl who need money to by a friend a new wheelchair and find an old barn that isn't being used and decide to get up a band and put on a show, and—oh, wait.  No, it's not about that at all!  Thank heaven!  But it is coming soon.  Whatever it is.

C'mon, Cole, don't give up, the barn is empty and the ghosts of Mickey and Judy are ready to hoof it again!

I already wrote a story about a barn, much like the one I played basketball in as a teenager.  Barns are much better used for playing basketball than putting on amateur theatricals, especially if you're playing shirts vs. skins and the players are cute and sweaty.

Ah! a story about a sentient barn. Science Fiction / Fantasy at its best - I can't wait.

The is no barn in this story.  None.  Nada.  Sentient or insensate.  This is a story set in an urban setting.  For all I know, none of the characters have ever seen a barn.  Let's forget barns.  Judy Garland doesn't make an appearance, either.

I see what you're doing, Cole. There we'll be, thinking this isn't a story about a barn, so when the barn makes its entrance we'll be surprised and shocked.
Classic misdirection at its very best!

Misdirection, phooey!  Hey, you're in London!  Have you ever actually seen a barn?  Been in one?

 

No, I didn't think so.
