In light of a bet, I'm going to churn out a short story over the next month. The bet involves writing a 6000-word story between now and February 15th. This means a 250-word pace for 24 days, followed by 6 days of editing. We can chop those days in half and take 3 days of time to plan...maybe a planning session once a week with two days of editing?
Anyway, a six-pack of beer (!!!) is at stake here. Not sure if the story's going on Facebook, but that'd be some great fun.
Theme
The importance of cherishing one's family. Labor and possessions are important, but ultimately secondary to one's social bonds.
Plot-Theme
Man leaves his job at a factory to be by his wife's side as she gives birth. Prognosis for wife's birth is grim; she may pass away during delivery. Man considers recent events, his wife, his own life on the way to visit her.
