This is The Sudden Walk,
On this page you will find short stories of varied genre and structure. I am using it to experiment with ideas and develop my craft.
The name comes from a short story by Franz Kafka of the same title. The story--which reads as one long sentence--depicts a man who is sitting inside his cozy home on a rainy day. Although he is completely justified and even expected to stay at home, the man chooses to take a walk. Immediately the choice to go against instinct liberates him. For me, starting this Substack page holds certain parallels with that story. So here we go, the Sudden Walk.
