From My Hard Drive: “Oswald Missed”
Not a chunk of something this month — a complete story!
I’m not very good at writing short fiction, as anyone who’s contemplated the spines of my books can plainly see. My brother once joked that, at under 300 pages, Bang qualifies as a “Barry Lyga short story.”
But sometimes I try my hand at short fiction. Below is a bit of flash fiction I attempted. I never managed to do anything with i

"Thank Barry Lyga you for your generosity. Not only did he send me the book I won, but included the other books in the series. I should have thanked him much sooner, but I made the mistake of starting to read and it took me on an enjoyable journey. Th"

"I’ve been a fan of this series for over a decade now, and this one is no exception. Every story felt very distinct but still in the same universe. You could tell exactly whose POV you were in. Now having finished it, I’m wanting even MORE backstory. "

question:
Well, part of it might have been that when I wrote that book about a dead baby, I was a new father! So I was writing about that tragedy while my little daughter slept in a bassinet next to me. It made it very raw and real for me.

“You won't even know you've crossed the line until it's way back in your rearview mirror.”

“See, forgiveness doesn't happen all at once. It's not an event -- it's a process. Forgiveness happens while you're asleep, while you're dreaming, while you're inline at the coffee shop, while you're showering, eating, farting, jerking off. It happens in the back of your mind, and then one day you realize that you don't hate the person anymore, that your anger has gone away somewhere. And you understand. You've forgiven them. You don't know how or why. It sneaked up on you. It happened in the small spaces between thoughts and in the seconds between ideas and blinks. That's where forgiveness happens. Because anger and hatred, when left unfed, bleed away like air from a punctured tire, over time and days and years. Forgiveness is stealth. At least, that's what I hope.”

“This is why I forgive, but I don't forget. When you forget someone, the forgiveness doesn't mean anything anymore.”
