After discussing it with a Trusted Source™ who has provided feedback on some stories, I’ve elected to tackle a rewrite of Stop That Cow! as the first major step in my renewed effort to get this collection out the door and into the wild, where it will be savaged by werewolves and witches and people who thought they were buying an underwear collection.
The same trusted source also felt Hello? was unworthy of the collection in its present state and after some discussion I came to the conclusion that a rewrite would involve too much work to be a worthwhile investment. The list of stories now looks like this (and is subject to further and possibly whimsical) changes:
10 Pairs of Shorts
- Learning to Die
- Slice of Life
- The Cobalt Sensation
- The Chicago 8 vs. Time
- The Chicago 8 vs. Armageddon
- The Lunch Gnome
- The Dream of the Buckford County Church
- The Sometimes Island
- At the Door
- Killing Time
- The Graffiti Avenger
- Lily Tries to Go Shopping
- The Broken Bridge
- Stop That Cow!
- Rainy Day
- Dented World
- The Box on the Bench
- Regina and the Shortcut with Teeth
- Sanity Road (replaces Hello? Status: unwritten)
- Picture This
