project: write a short story

Happy 2010!

My first project of the year is (drumroll, please...) to write a short story. Now, if you'll remember, I had a bit of trouble eeking out a poem in a week's time. I got it done, though, and in order to not set the bar too outrageously high, I'm going to qualify this new writing assignment with this: it does not have to be a completely polished, publish-ready story by the end of the week. It does, however, have to be a complete story, and be in good condition to easily polish up and submit somewhere later on.

Here goes nothing.
