Hey guys, I got commissioned to do a short story for a collection of "biker stories." I'm not really a Harley guy but hey, money is fun and I like to write things.

Unfortunately, right around the time I finished, the publusher folded, orphaning my little story. This brings me to two questions:

  1. You guys wanna read it?
  2. Am I violating rules if I post it in a link?

If you still want to make some money off of this you could self-publish, maybe as an ebook...if someone commissioned it then the market is there.

Yes, I'd like to read it and (as is typical of me) I have no idea about the rules.

So ... South Korean Pirate fiction? I won't know if I want to read it until the 2nd paragraph. Post a sampling?

The house, brown and squat and smelling of nicotine, left Reggie in a near constant state of fear. His room looked over the narrow alley behind the house and opened into the hallway directly across from his mother’s lonely little cave. Reggie nearly knocked down some of the legion decorative toys and trinkets his mother refused to trash, a Mighty Duck Puck from a 1997 Happy Meal, a wrist wallet from Burger King and a snow globe plucked from a neighbor’s trashcan.

Reggie snaked between stacks of newspapers and magazines, most of which predated him and many of which had taken on a sickly shade of yellowish brown. Of them all, there was but one stack Reggie deigned to look at, a collection of Cycling World rags from the 90’s and early 2000’s.

Reggie tingled when he imagined touching a Harley Fat Boy’s leather-wrapped seats and tasseled handlebars, hearing the off-beat rumble of a glimmering Victory Cruiser or losing himself to the wind aboard an Indian. Reggie liked big, American bikes with fat tires and low chassis. They seemed to him suitable conveyance for great men and minor gods.
