Three months ago, I dropped a bomb on Lily (Twitter name @MiamiTrue)…I suggested writing another short story with me that would run on Halloween… Well, we didn’t make the proposed deadline, but we did come up with a pretty good little tale here, and the driving force behind it all is Lily. All I did was send her seventy-five words, and she was off to the finish line. This work, I am proud and honored to say, is all Lily. Playing straight man to such a formidable writer is amazing. To sit back and watch and see the talents reveal themselves can leave you breathless at times, but with a talent like that of Lily, you are driven to be better and give the very finest you have.  I like to think I served as a trampoline of sorts for her; sending a hundred or so words here and there to catapult her writing further.  Thank you, Lily, for taking this challenge and allowing me to be a witness to the endless depths of your creative mind first hand.   Cheerz! Please visit http://www.fanfiction.net/~miamitrue for more of her fascinating work!   The Promise.pdf (PDF — 161 KB)
