A certain someone advised me that using a king for the concept of 'might' would be a cliché ... of course, that same certain-someone once believed me when I told her about an episode of Grey's Anatomy (she had missed it) which saw the gruesome death of three of the main characters in a boiler-room explosion ... yeah, the major networks are always taking risks like that. And: oh yeah, I'm totally believable. Just check my record!
People are always telling me that my work is too dark. So I've put up this sunnier story, but even it has a shadow, as its original publisher – a fine Atlantic Canadian literary magazine called the Gaspereau Review – is no longer in business. ---------------- It was a simple enough thing and that thing was simply this: Edmund Kelley was a gentleman. Of course his mom called him her 'little gentleman', as in 'Oh Edmund, you are my perfect little gentleman,' which did seem to hold to a certain logic that these type of things often follow, considering her affection for him and the fact that he was, after all, only ten years old. Still, Edmund himself was not particularly fond of the diminutive aspect of that title. Gentleman was enough; gentleman summed up the whole thing rather nicely, thank you. He was definitely a more refined version of your average child. He lived in a state of perpetual Sunday m
