A few years ago I started taking a note on my phone whenever I would think of a crazy story from my life. I have over 100 now. My hope is that when I retire I write them all as short stories. Here are a few working short story titles:
“Big Joe and the tire iron”
“Parking lot battle between a guy with a hook and a guy with nunchucks”
“High school porn film sting”
“Henry Rollins challenging people to push up contests on a sidewalk”
My life is pretty boring, but I think we all have some stories.
