The Grudge Holds You

I wrote Close the Door for two reasons which are really the only two reasons that I write anything; for entertainment and edification. The story is entertaining, starting off with the fast and powerful line: “I hit him as soon as he stepped out the door.” It’s also entertaining to see the tension between two friends who may or may not take their relationship to the next level. Then there’s the amusing yet poignant tombstone epitaph, the one that everyone laughs at when they read it. But the story is also edifying because the reader can see, albeit through a fictitious account, the effects of holding a grudge for too long. The grudge actually holds you, keeping you stuck in the past while everyone else is have fun and finding love. So check out Close the Door, and be entertained and edified.
