Because I would like to write and publish at least two short stories this year, I am revisiting some old, unfinished work from my past and seeing what is worth revisiting. I am particularly interested in my longest short story, "Event Horizon." I wrote this 40-page story throughout college, but never proofed it or officially published it. I may revisit "Event Horizon" in 2011 and get a second draft written up.
As a quick exercise, I wrote a back-of-the-book blurb about "Event Horizon." If you picked this story up in a book store and read the back cover, this is what you might take in:
Kalman Kennard - or as he prefers, just "Kale" - couldn't be happier about moving from his hometown's boring community college to Pine Creek University, a beautiful and remote campus lost among the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. Hoping to escape an academic and romantic past leading nowhere, Kale befriends Shaylee, a striking young woman who becomes his first love.
Kale quickly discovers, however, that Shaylee holds a secret that blends the supernatural with the reality Kale so wishes to escape. Caught in between dreams and reality, Kale must learn everything he can about Shaylee in order to save himself from a romance and a world that may not be real.
B3 out.
