Posting “WAITING” – a short story from 1992

“Waiting” is a short story I wrote while living in Washington D.C. in 1987-1988. It was published in the quarterly literary journal, The Pinehurst Journal, in their Fall 1992 issue. The publishers, Michael K, McNamara and Kathleen M. McNamara, were fine people, true to their vision.

Does anyone else see William Saroyan’s influence in this story?
