The Works

By Luke Keener

A desperate fight for survival, a romance in the spring
of lovers last night together. The figures that spawn
fear and bravery in the hearts and minds of other.
Love is not the only force out there. There is nothing
to fear even if you are alone on the field of war.
Revenge sometimes is the best course of action.
As the person who loves you the most in the world,
Im here to stop you.

Intro

A Short Story

I am what you need in a short moment of time. I am a story that is very short. Compared to the time that has already past, I am simply a small segment of 16 years. Until I pass I will be nothing but, a short story. Something that can be revisited over and over again, I will extend as time goes on. However, I am only a short story so you will only need a short glimpse and then you are done with me. But unlike other short stories, I am complex, I am detailed. I contain many characters instead of two or three. I am unlike any other short story you will ever read. However, I am only a short story, so you will only read me once. Even though I will become more exciting and eventually become a novel. I am, for now, just a short story, so you will only read me once.

I tried to gesticulate the fact that to people that I couldn’t even get clean water, but they just showed the preferential difference between us and left. I had been homeless for two weeks and I was on the periphery of death… till he showed up. I was about to pass out in an alley when the boss arrived and took me in. He gave me everything I needed to regain my strength. It was an unknown feeling of euphoria as I ingested some of the most expensive foods known to man. All I had to do was accept the conferment as his chauffeur, and he would continue his support. He was extremely importunate, I always had to have the car ready, and it was exhausting. I would be driving for days at a time, but I pulled through. Now I think I don’t have a job anymore, since I wrecked his prized car. I turned into an alleyway for the shortcut back to my place. The boss’s henchmen were waiting for something, people walked behind me to cut me off. I
