“Five Days After” in The Sidewalk Diverges

My story “Five Days After” is one of the many stories that I first had the idea for while riding the bus in Seattle. Bus commuting is normally fairly quiet and boring. Many of the people on the bus are just trying to get to and from their day jobs. But sometimes you overhear interesting conversations or spot interesting people. And sometimes those make their way into stories.

In this case, it was five days after St. Patrick’s Day, as the story says, and a couple of oddly dressed folks caught my attention. So I started writing a story about leprechauns on public transit on my phone.

You can find “Five Days After” exclusively inĀ The Sidewalk Diverges.
