"True Blue (A Short Story)" by Eliot Peper
True Blue a short story by a favorite author of mine Eliot Peper (@EliotPeper) just released yesterday.
I will first say this is one of the first short stories I have read because most of the time I have strayed away from them in the past. However, I am glad I read this one as it was the perfect size for me to digest in my normally busy week. Not to mention I am a fan of Eliot’s work and this is another one that doesn’t disappoint and couldn’t put it down. Let’s just say it was good for me that it was a short story. The main topic of the book is around discrimination but is set in a more future state. Even though this book is a short story Elliot masterfully writes it in great detail with various twists you might not see coming.
*I really can’t say enough about the book and don’t want to give too much of it away so go grab a copy as you can’t beat the price as it only 2.99 (or free if you have Kindle Unlimited). So go grab a copy today and start your weekend off right. *
*Completed Kitchen Remodel (Day 44, June 2017)*
Happy Father’s Day Dad! Thanks for everything you have supported, shown, and done for me throughout the years.
Boo in a basket… 👻 #facesofboo
Her sister and her were pretending this was a dog kennel.
These two need to work on badminton teamwork and possibly their form 🤣
Detour on our way back home today
Crash! Asphalt 1 - Eric 0
I had a great post for you a couple of weeks back I was in a slump about running and getting motivated to get out and run every morning. I was thinking now that I am back at it 100% and fully motivated it would be a great time to share but then this happened this morning:
*Sometimes the ground wins*
That picture was taken well after the run, a painful shower, and three bandage changes later. Though that wasn’t it as I really twisted my ankle and have a couple bruised ribs (or that is what the doctor told me). Also, my iPhone took a good fall on the pavement as I normally run with it and that was the arm that broke the rest of my fall. Overall, nothing major was broken or damaged but I am a little slower moving today.
You might be wondering how this happened and I wish it was a much more glamorous story. I was running along like normal on the sidewalk but on a rougher part of asphalt and my foot must have hit a dip wrong and my ankle twisted bad and there was no coming back from that. I broke my fall with my hand for the most part that was under my chest. I quickly rolled over into the grass and said some choice words to the sky as I knew my iPhone was on my arm that broke the fall. I got up quickly as well and noticed a lady stopped in her vehicle asking if I was ok. I said I was all good and started to jog off. After two blocks and I knew I was dripping blood from my hand and knees I decided to stop and just walk the remainder of the way home as I also knew my ankle was tender but probably not broken. On the walk home I realized I had a lot of pain in my chest as well which ultimately is probably bruised or cracked rib.
Sooo… stay tuned and I will still post it (probably Monday) as I might need some more motivation after I get all healed up.
Today’s score: Asphalt 1 - Eric 0. Guess that is what I get for running this morning. Why couldn’t it have been grass 😒
Now let’s just hope my ankle and ribs are only bruised / sore and nothing else.
