Somebody Somewhere

by Tom Lichtenberg

Some psycho kidnaps his would-be girlfiend, gets chased by the cops halfway across the state, runs out of gas right outside your house, where you and your spouse are enjoying a quiet evening at home, and now you're held hostage at gunpoint and surrounded by police. It could happen.

About the author

I've written a lot of stories, and one thing I've learned is that stories have a life. They want to be read, and they're brought to life by readers. Readers give them meaning, give them substance and fulfill their destinies. Stories aren't picky about who reads them. They welcome everyone. Money means nothing to them - they don't care how much the reader paid and they equally don't care how much the author made. Stories want to live and they want to be a part of your life. I often think of them as like paper boats you place upon a stream. You never know where they'll end up!

I tend to go for speculative fiction, sci-fi, satire, magical realism, post-modernism, eclectic lit, and generally stay away from horror, romance and paranormal unless there's some good humor in it. I like a light touch, with real ideas.

While a few of my stories are on Wattpad, lots more can be found (and all for free) at Smashwords.com, Feedbooks.com, Barnes and Noble, and the Apple iBookstore. If you really want to, you can also buy them cheaply on Amazon Kindle.

This is more like a novella, it is only 59 pages. The premise was good, if only there would have been more substance to it. Also, there were no quotation marks, at least with the app I read it on, and that was kind of annoying. It had too many POVs to really be helpful. There was nothing to let you know who you were in the mind of, you just had to keep reading until you figured it out.

Not a novel.

Weird and yet had some interesting parts. I guess this would be classified as a short story.
