libbywalkupThis reminds me a bit of one of George Saunders stories in Pastoralia. Great situational irony.
jen_bThere are a lot of specific details in this that paint the picture very well. And that "clunk runk runk" gives me the creeps!
What an ending, David. Great story.
DracotorreThanks, PJ. I need more practice. It's been years since I've given a speech, and I find myself concentrating too much. I mounted the microphone up high so I could stand to deliver better voice. I knew this story would be good vocally since while I was writing it, I spoke to the room in order to get the rhythm right.
