Short Stories

I'm rather fascinated with short stories.  One of my favorite all time short stories is The Fall Of The House Of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe.

This is way before the days of Usher the musician ever came on the scene.

But I rather like this short story because it's what got me hooked on short stories.  I remember reading this story in 6th grade and then actually going to see it performed live at a theater down town.

Here's a link to the story on project Gutenberg:  http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/932

I don't know what it is about it, there's just something odd, maybe it's the setting or just... well I don't know... but I liked it.

I've read nearly all of Poe's material since then.  He's a super interesting person.  He's definitely most peculiar.  I think if I could get the chance to go back and have a sit down and talk with him... I definitely would.  That would probably be a very interesting conversation.

So ever since then I've tried to write hundreds or maybe even thousands of short stories.  I always end up getting about 2 or 3 pages in and then run out of steam.  I don't know why I can't seem to finish one.  I just sort of, well I just can't.

So I've decided to try and write a short story AND finish it.  I will post it when I do.  I really want to try super hard to write and finish one.  So we'll see.
