#366 The Brief Debut of Tildy- O.Henry
Wow, 366! We’ve finished one whole year of short stories.
I’d like to end the year, where it began: O. Henry, the
inspiration for this project and its most frequently read author. This story is
another New York City atmosphere piece. The atmosphere is a greasy spoon diner
called Bogle’s Chop House and Family Restaurant. The food is tasteless, and the
owner is cold.
“At the cashier’s desk sits Bogel, cold, sordid, slow,
smouldering, and takes your money. Behind a mountain of toothpicks he makes
your change, files your check, and ejects at you, like a toad, a word about the
weather.”
BLOG UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who read the blog and
followed along this year. I’m not sure exactly how much longer I will continue.
It was supposed to be only 1 year, but ended up reading over 1,000 series, so i plan on posting one a day for at least that long.
