Ice and Fire

Ice and Fire

I find writing short stories to be a sort of laboratory for testing ideas.

Some, for example, are perfect for fiddling with characters or philosophical questions or dialogue. I wrote Ice and Fire last year in an attempt to create a fairytale. I’m not sure if I succeeded, but I enjoyed the process. I included a shorter version of the story in The Mike Murphy Files. This single version is longer and more carefully shaped. At any rate, if you’ve never been to Lune, this story is for you.
