My 12th short story

I haven’t published a short story for a couple of weeks – too many work meetings. But today I’ve added to my web site my latest – and my shortest – story.
It’s entitled “An African Adventure”. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

    Really enjoyed your recent, ultra short story.

    Another good story and I liked the word play at the end.

    Just read your latest African Adventure and quite liked it. The ending sounds almost like Hemingway.
    If I can allow myself a bit of criticism after reading 4 of your stories… I think you should do something about the long biographic passages in your writing. Somehow their style sounds too official and contradicts the overall gentle and nostalgic, “well-rounded” feeling of the story.

    That’s an interesting observation, Alexei, and I’ll certainly think about it.
    What do other readers think?
