Ten Years Later

A one-sentence story

After we woke from our unplanned nap, I half-jokingly asked Caroline, “Which is better, sex or sleep?” and when she said, “sleep,” her reply should have shattered my heart, but I felt the same way.


I publish a new story every Sunday, but now and then I publish a super-short story in between.

I hope you enjoyed this one-sentence story. It’s a challenge and a delight to capture somebody’s entire life between the first letter and period. If you enjoyed this story, I think you’ll also like Peter Fraser’s Sudden Death, another one-sentence story.

For me, once I’m tired, that’s it. Point of no return.

Yep Bill, I'm old enough to agree with that.
