Description

My Round Eight entry in National Public Radio's "Three Minute Fiction" contest. As the rules required, less than 600 words and incorporating this sentence: "She closed the book, placed it on the table, and finally, decided to walk through the door." Tried to balance dialogue and narrative; still looking for that first reader who appreciates characters speaking for themselves, to some degree.

The story is well written. But I remained confused through three fourths of the story.

Excellent! It's gotta be hard to write something comprehensible in so few words, but you did it!
But then, I'm a Vietnam vet ('65-66) so I understand .....
