The Watch
Ethan is a normal kid living a normal life. But everyone he knows always better stories and seem to have all fun. Why shouldn’t he be the one sharing exciting stories and having adventures that everyone talks about. Well, today is that day all that changes. After today everyone will be talking about him.
The Watch is a short short story I wrote as an experiment in writing styles. It’s short enough to read on a break or waiting for that boss who likes making you wait in the lobby just because he can. From idea to finished product was literally just a matter of hours, and while it’s a short I hope I was able to do the idea and different style of storytelling justice.

Cool Story Concept
I will attempt to give a review without spoilers.
The story is of a boy's decision to do "something" so that he will have an exciting story to tell his friends. That in and of itself could make some people shy away thinking it's not a good story.
If someone does decide not to read the story for that reason...they'd be very wrong.
The way the story is told is the real reason to read the story. Hayes does a good job of pulling the reader in and dropping a surprise storytelling method that will have readers hooked.
