Short and Twisted 2015 – Park Ride

Short and Twisted 2015 - Park Ride

My tale, Park Ride, appears in this decisive collection of amusing and thought provoking short stories and poems. Shortlisted for the 2014 Charlotte Duncan Award, I penned the first version of this tale about a young girl caught in the grip of anxiety as she waits to learn the outcome of her father’s brain surgery in 2007.

Like all memorable tales, this one stems from a very memorable real life event. I am overjoyed to see it in print and hope it is just as joyful to read.

Praise for Park Ride:

Am sitting on a train and have just finished reading Park Ride. Still have a lump in my throat. What a beautiful story.  Pat Simmons  – Author

Loved the uplifting ending! You took me to the “dark night of the soul” then hoisted me right out of it to a beautiful place.   Ben Long – Author

I thoroughly enjoyed your short story.  In fact, I enjoyed it so much it left me wanting more! It is beautifully written and conveys so much sentiment – I too felt the heat, smelt the smells, and felt a certain anxiousness awaiting to hear the news on the well-being of Jadie’s beloved father.  Rhana O’Brien – avid reader
