Santa’s Helpers

Layer upon layer of rough woolen blankets pressed down on Timmy as he squirmed under them. He couldn't fall asleep. He was too excited. But still, he closed his eyes, trying to will sleep to come because everyone knew that Santa only came once you were asleep. If you were awake, he wouldn't come since there was too high a chance that he would be seen. Everyone knew this.

So, Timmy closed his eyes

Nicholas Taylor answered Clu's question: I have this short story I found on my computer entitled "Chapter 1 First Day on the Job" by Nicholas Taylor but cannot recall where I got it (apparently from Smashwords maybe). A web search showed zero (0) results. If this is your book, can you tell me about it and why I can't find it on the web anywhere? It's very short, maybe 102 pages or so. It says copyright 2010 and is a Smashwords Edition. Hey there. That is from a book called 8810, which isn't available anymore. I hope that helps. Thanks,

A belated thanks for choosing me to be among your friends, Nicholas. It may interest you that my book (lots of humor) Marvin Clark—In Search of Freedom in now a matching FREE download on Amazon Kindle. Enjoy it while you can. (A little review on Amazon wouldn't hurt either!)
