BTAP #3: Disimpaction by Glenn Gray

I read this stopped-up little story one morning just before breakfast. What a mistake! I’ve always given Glenn Gray high marks for his dialogue, which is first-rate here as well, but it’s his descriptive content that wins out with this contribution to BEAT to a PULP. Dr. Gray proves the "write what you know" school of thought is the best procedure as his day job provides us with this thoroughly vivid tale.

Next week: "A Man Called Masters" by Jack Martin

  4. Josh, I give you and anyone who can do that a lot of credit.

    Charles, I can imagine it helped.

  5. This brought back memories of my stays in hospital, but not quite in this context. While reading I forgot there might be a twist at the end.

  7. Just a note to say I like what you're doing with BEAT TO A PULP. Good stuff so far, and risky, too. Kudos. Best to BTAP and your own work. Enjoyed "Blubber" mucho.

  8. Thanks Neil! Hopefully, we can keep it up over the long haul. Thanks for the compliment on "Blubber." I have an idea for a story for PWG. Now, to get off my arse and write it.
