A Stranger Comes Home
Author’s Note
This story was inspired by a tale told at a live storytelling event. I made up my own ending. As it stands, it’s certainly more to my taste but I don’t think it’s any better. Subjectivity reigns.
The first draft mimicked the original closely with my ending tagged on - I wasn’t happy with it and it took a couple of re-writes for the story to find its voice.
Sometimes tragic stories contain hope. That’s the optimist in me, I reckon.
