Blink
Blink, the second short story from the collection, The Canon, takes the reader on a dizzying bike ride down the back roads of the Maine coast. Along the way, Andy O’Brien, a bright and caring young science teacher with a promising future, dreams of making a name for himself and his school by conducting unsanctioned experiments. If he’s right, he might change the way we look at disease, growth, and even the aging process. But, time is both his ally and his enemy, and he must move quickly to prove his theories.
The work here is a combination of the world that might be and the world that is. Told with a storyteller’s heart, the author brings the reader to a place that is at once familiar and provocative. The pages will turn quickly and more than a little sleep will be lost.

About the author
David Arenstam
4 books2 followersDavid Arenstam was born in the foothills of the Berkshires in Massachusetts and raised by the sea in Plymouth, but he has spent most of his adult life along the shores of the Saco River in Maine. After starting and running a small data processing and software firm for nearly 20 years, he found his real passion and voice in teaching and writing.
Never one to really sit still, over the years he has studied mathematics, literature, education, journalism, writing, and many other forms of technology. As he often tells his students, “the world just might be the greatest classroom you’ll ever enter. Take a minute and look around, you’ll be surprised at what you see and the lessons you’ll learn.”
Arenstam is a proud faculty member at Thornton Academy and writes stories regularly for local newspapers, magazines, and online media companies. Along the way, he continues to study and most recently completed a graduate degree in journalism at Harvard. His first novel, "Homecoming: A soldier's story of loyalty, courage, and redemption" will be published this year, in conjunction with a collection short stories. Arenstam’s novels and stories may be found at Amazon.com and local bookstores.
