We studied The Homecoming by Roger Woddis.
Then we attempted to write the shortest story, that still made sense.
The team will post theirs up in time, I'm sure.
Below is the original text.
HOMECOMING
‘Good to have you back, son,’
the old man said.
‘Nice to be back.’
‘You’ve had a rough time.’
The eyes clouded with
guilt. ‘Hope you don’t think
I let you down.’
The younger shook his head.
‘You warned me, dad. But
it wasn’t the nails.
It was the kiss.’
