Rish Outfield

Rish Outfield is a failed writer, failed actor, and pretty much failed human being. Still, he manages to get up in the morning/afternoon because of you, good sir or ma'am. Someday, he plans to thank you in person.

Rish is a fan of Horror films, Eighties music, and the television work of Joss Whedon. He enjoys chasing after frogs, talking about comic book characters, and thinking about the Star Wars Trilogy. He is a voice actor and podcaster, and can be heard co-hosting the Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine and That Gets My Goat podcasts, where he and Big Anklevich waste much of their time, hopefully entertainingly.

He has been a writer of short stories all of his life, but has only recently begun to share his work with others. He once got a job because of his Sean Connery impersonation, but has lost two due to his Samuel L. Jackson impression.

  This is a very short tale, but there's a lot of story in it. It could probably double in length and not feel at all padded out. I really liked the descriptions throughout, the sound of the frogs, the mystery of what was happening and why. Not a lot of it is explained in the end, and that, to me anyway, is a lot closer to how life really works, where you never know the whole story, and nobody's there to tie it all up with a pretty bow at the end. Still, I wanted to know more. I wanted to know why. I wanted to know how the main character felt about it all. That's a criticism, I suppose, but it's also a compliment. To leave your readers wanting more is way better than leaving them wishing it had ended a while before.
