Short Story/Serial Monday – Memories of Rachel – Conclusion

Don Massenzio Well, last week I failed to conclude this story. This week, the ending emerged. This story was enjoyable to write and took some unexpected twists and turns for me. I’m looking forward to tacking something new starting next week. It will be great to introduce a new story with some new characters. I […]

Don Massenzio Okay, so I lied. I got deep into writing what I thought was going to be the conclusion of the Memories of Rachel serial and realized that I was at 1,800 words and the conclusion was still not arriving. The setup for the conclusion needed more meat before I could get to the […]

I’ve decided that I am going to compile this, my story No Pain, No Gain and another unpublished story into a Kongo-themed book. Kongo is a fictitious company that I created. It started as mail order but has branched into almost every aspect […]

Don Massenzio I feel an ending coming to this story. It might be next week or the week after. This simulation of Ben’s wife began to remind me of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. If you remember that movie, made in 1968, the computer, HAL 9000, took on an evil persona and began wreaking […]

Don Massenzio As I continue to add layers to this story, I can really see it turning into a book. In book form, I’m picturing a journal of Rachel’s work with her digital counterpart with entries to detail what she’s remembering and experiencing. I’ve got the shell of the story i want to tell, but […]
