Tom Keegan comes home from war looking for a way back into ordinary life. A new job. A road trip to Oregon. A simple assignment to find a lumber supplier. Then he looks in the rearview mirror. A terrific story from @meproctor.bsky.social about finding purpose: literarygarage.com/a-drive-in-m...

Heartstrings Here's a story for you, featuring Max the hitman with a heart.... one of my recurrent characters.

Heartstrings

a Max story ... you know, the moody hitman?

M.E. Proctor @meproctor.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

It loses things, inevitably. I removed one character and I was sad to cut on the atmospherics (you know how much I love these), but it's OK, I have ideas on how to expand it!

M.E. Proctor @meproctor.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

It is a quick story but I think it's what makes it work, the sudden whiplashes of the twists. As to cutting.... I once wrote 7000 words that had to go down to 4000. I like the short one but I will go back to the long one and I think I'll make it even longer!
