My name is Gary and I am from a small town in Florida. I work as a 911 Call Taker for the county that I live in. When I am not working I spend time with my wonderful girlfriend Sarah and our dog, Millie! I also, write stories as often as I can. My favorite genre to write in is Horror, but I write just about anything.

GaryCecil:
I should have my next story up by this weekend. I won't tell you too much, but it is called, The Text.
The big idea - A man, just about to leave for work, hears the buzzing of his wife's cell phone on the counter. He grabs the cell off the counter, and sees a text message from a number with no name assigned to it.
It reads : I haven't had sex like that since I was in my twenties. I have not heard from you, and I need to know when I can see you again. Please, text me back.
Rage fills his heart, and he envisions himself throwing the phone against the wall and watching it shatter. He looks at the clock on the coffee maker and realizes he will be late for work.
He goes to work instead, and plots the murder of his wife the whole day.
The choices he makes along the way will change him forever. You will have to read the story to find out if he "gets her", or not. :)!

DIS-illusioned: Gee, thanks for not telling us 'too much' about it.
It's obviously a case of a gross misunderstanding (oops! sorry about my big mouth).
However, if that were my wife, I'd be so on her case about not putting it out like that for me, and demand that the texter 'compensate' me for her--ahem--'services'. (And my mother wonders why I can't stay married).

| GaryCecil: Will do! I have been reading Peter Straub's, Ghost Story, and I just cannot put it down! I have, however, put the story down, so I can finish my suspense-driven tale!

Working on the novel version of Bestseller. I have some great ideas boiling! Thanks for all the wonderful feedback! I have taken tiny fragments from some of the comments and I believe they will transcend very well into the full-length novel.

A new story is eating away at my insides. I have to get this out! It might be a month before you all see it, but I have a good scare coming for you.

shelley kaye: does it involve chewed up intestines dripping blood? lol
|

July 17, 2013 at 11:11AM

|
| GaryCecil: Blood, yes, but as of right now there will be no chewed up guts. haha

| Christof McTarnahan: No masticated organs? How about a big rabid wolf that poops pin worms and tumors? I am sure your new story will kick arse.

GaryCecil:
Does anyone else write with a candle burning? I don't know why, but I cannot write without one. Plus, they smell awesome!
|
|
July 14, 2013 at 5:37PM
|
| DIS-illusioned: I guess you haven't tried the kind my gran hoards--from the B.C. era, I believe. Trust me, you'd rather be in the dark.
|
|
July 14, 2013 at 6:52PM
|
|
| William Walz: You are right about the candle. And the smaller the better.
|
|
July 14, 2013 at 8:36PM
|
|
| GaryCecil: Yes! Even though I mostly write during the day, the candle burning and lights off in my office room is the best way for me to release my fiction.

I have such a creepy tale brewing in my mind. I'm going to relax and read Michael Connelly's The Drop, while that baby churns!

| GaryCecil: I hope so too. I actually had to put that story on the back burner for just a little while. I am working on my submission for the contest "At the Bank."
