Tall Story Time: My Mostly Funny Story "Post No Bull" Is Published in an Online Journal

   
      My short story "Post No Bull" begins this way:


Our first stop, of course, is Charlie’s.

“Do you remember when we used to come here?” she asks, as we contemplate the glass front of Charlie’s Cheap Eats & Saloon.

“No, we didn’t,” I say. “You must be thinking of someone else.”...

She laughs and swats me lightly. “It wasn’t somebody else. I don’t know what you think of me.”

           The story is up on the online journal "Carpe Bloom," which has just published its "Issue 7/ Paperguts"
           Written a few years ago, "Post No Bull" is a mostly funny story about what happens when a couple of youthful hipsters look for places to put up posters for their free music festival. It's wholly fictional. I am not guilty of any of the offenses recorded therein (though most of them were in my heart).             The story was written originally to be part of something much (much) longer, a novel about the follies, and aspirations, of being young. I thought I had to try to capture some of the currents, self-inventions, and ways of living peculiar to a period in every life that leaves its mark, though it passes so quickly -- while, that is, I could still remember something about it.             That novel of the inspirations (and perspirations) of youth is still around, and I've lately gone back to reworking pieces.              Here is the link to "Issue 7/ Paperguts" below. https://carpebloom.com/issue7paperguts/
