Short Story Reader: On "Out of Time" by David W. Landrum (2157 words) ***
http://shortstoryreader.blogspot.com/2015/06/on-out-of-time-by-david-w-landrum-2157.html

Sometimes, we fail to be direct about how we feel because we fear hurting someone else or being hurt ourselves. Sometimes we just don't know how to say something. And sometimes we fail to be direct for simply legal reasons. Read the tale here. David W. Landrum. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe in a reader.
