Smorgasbord Short Stories – Authors in the Sun – #Mystery – The Coin by Rob Shackleford
When I worked on radio in the south of Spain I presented and recorded four series of Authors in the Sun showcasing local writers and their short stories. I ran a series here on the blog in 2017 which was much enjoyed and showed off the skills of some amazing writers.
I would love to share your short stories here too this summer and details of how you can participate is at the end of the post.
Today Rob Shackleford, author of two time travel novels shares a story that will have you scratching your head…..
The Coin
By Rob Shackleford
When I was a kid, things weren’t as structured at school as they are now. Then, children would either walk or ride a bicycle to school and, rather than being met by crowds of paranoid parents carefully scrutinising the surroundings for paedophiles, at the ring of the school bell at the end of the day there would instead be crowds of children milling as they walked home, bare-foot, from their day of not only education, but also fun, laughter, and life.
