what's the story?

School holidays have begun, marking a glorious 6 week interval where traffic densities in the mornings and evenings are down by anything up to 40%, and surgeries are also noticeably quieter than usual. There is also less pressure of housecalls; indeed, last year we went 3 full weeks in August without a single request: please may it be so this year.

This afternoon I finished off my new story. It comes in at 2850 words, which is slightly longer than I originally intended, but still acceptable, I believe, to potential publishers, if it ever gets that far. At present I am just deriving a lot of pleasure from creating them.
