No End in Sight

A short story from Juliette Kings

He should have gone up to her, or at least walked by close enough to see if it was the girl who’d haunted his thoughts for the past 30 years.After she arrived home she sat on her deck listening to the sounds of the woodpeckers. A dog barked or other suburban sounds drifted over the fence. She poured another glass of wine. Now what?

Pride and Prejudice turns 200 today.

Unlike Elizabeth who would let nothing stop her, I have the flu so I’m taking a sick day and going back to bed. In the meantime I’ve posted a link to a cute item about it from NPR (National Public Radio)
