“Kristof” by Keith Edwin

Submitted to Contest #77

“What? Where? How did I get here? I’m so cold.” Kristof didn’t know how much time had elapsed since he passed out, it couldn’t have been more than a few minutes, but he awoke shivering and confused, laying in the snow by his car. He got up and noticed his windshield was covered in snow, like the rest of the vehicle. “But, but how? The note. I had a note. There was a note on my window. Wher...

“As One” by Keith Edwin

Submitted to Contest #75

“Hurry up Bob! You’re going to be late!”“Ugh, I know. Hold on.”“I’ve already got your coffee on the island for you. I’m leaving for work. I love you.”“Thank you Mandy. I love you too.”Bob Collins finished putting on his tie as his wife Amanda (Mandy for short) backed her black Camry out of the driveway. He knew he was going to be late for his sales job, but he really didn’t care. He could blame traffic. Maybe the starter was going out on his car. He couldn’t miss work...

“Kristof, are you sure this is what you want? My father is not going to like this.” “I’ve thought about it Marie. The pandemic is hurting everyone. Plus, you know how my headaches have come back. They haven’t been this bad in over 20 years. They’re so random and unpredictable, I just don’t know if I can do it.” “Well you’re going to have to talk to him then because I’m sure as hell...

Author bio

For someone who's been known to be a bit wordy and rambling, I'm really not good at these "describe yourself" things. Where do I start? I'm a single dad (son lives with mom and stepdad) in Fort Worth, TX. I'm 43. My son is a baseball player, so that takes up a lot of my free time when he's in season. In "real life," I'm a huge sports fan. As for my writing, I haven't actively written really since high school or college. I discovered this site after getting a new laptop and decided to plunge right back into it. As of now (November 23, 12:35am CST) I only have one story posted. Novel writing scares me, short story-flash fiction-novella writing excites me. I've got a few ideas on how I could use Reedsy to help me along. I want to have Scott Brick read whatever type of book I produce. My favorite authors (no particular order) would probably be Brad Meltzer, James Rollins, David Baldacci, Dean Koontz, Jonathan Kellerman, Greg Iles. I look forward to reading your stories and getting input from you as you read mine.
