Upon reading Plato's Republic The Allegory Of The Cave, I was inspired to write part 2 of this short story. I then wrote part 1, a prequel, followed by part 3, the conclusion. Enjoy all 14,160 words.
Certainly. I also am writing a novel. It’s on a man’s visitation from the celestial realm and learning to value the river of life. The word of God. It was started from a sentence prompt from a writing workshop weekly at church. It morphed into 500 pages. I’m learning a lot from other writers and have begun editing it voraciously. Not sure what to do after that. I will intro to Substack like you have done. Thanks.
I posted my short story "Echo of Reality" to my Facebook a few years ago a portion at a time over several weeks, sort of like in soap opera fashion. That was fun and the comments were encouraging. And that way I was assured folks were actually reading it, lol. I subscribed to your feed. Looking forward to your posts. Mine tend to be all over the place as you may discover.
Interesting read Jim. Could be a trilogy. Expanded on in each of the stories. Mr Osborne, Echo , then the futuristic reveal. I found the story of Echo the most riveting. It left me thinking of several openings he could find and lead others to the light....
Thanks so much Donald. Actually this was originally three short stories combined into a larger short story trilogy. You are accurate in saying each of these could have been expanded into longer stories and a much more exhaustive story. I was hoping some Hollywood exec would read it and compel me to do so, lol. I'd love you're opinion on this one also: https://jrichardson.substack.com/p/24-hours-to-live
Excellent, Jim. I love your writing style. It hits the mark. Thanks for subscribing to my Substack. Say, you might want to check out my latest book detailing these movements: https://www.iomamerica.net/this-preeminent-darkness
Thanks Jim. Will read. I mostly wrote prose from scripture or from a message. On weekends I have shared a life story. I endeavor to share to maybe make a difference in folks lives.
