Well, here it is. It comes in the form of a linked trilogy of powerful dramas by McStorytellers regular Andrew McCallum Crawford. This is the order in which they should be read:
Chicken Soup
Gentlemen, We Have A Winner
When Iron Turns To Rust (first published in the Northwards Now literary magazine)
The three stories are included in Andrew’s latest collection, A Man’s Hands. Dealing with the pain, heartbreak and disappointment of a relationship rekindled, they do not have happy endings. They should be enjoyed nevertheless and Andrew’s compelling writing celebrated.
And here’s another cause for celebration. With the publication of Andrew’s trilogy, McStorytellers has achieved its 400 story milestone. Yes, since our launch in 2010 we’ve now published over two-thirds of a million words in 400 short stories penned by more than 60 contributors, representing a wealth of Scots writing talent.
So sláinte to all of those contributors! And sláinte to all our thousands of readers! Here's to many more stories to come.
