“I think the ending of ‘Moving Metal’ is one of the best endings to a short story I’ve read in recent memory, and I’m including stories in magazines that pay a lot more than we can.”
So said the co-publisher of On the Premises literary journal. But don’t take his word for it. Read the story, which centers on a phone conversation between a formerly homeless couple who’s now sober and speaking for the first time in a year, and let me know what you think.
Thanks to Oksana Marafioti, Meredith McGhan, and Todd Moffett for their feedback on the story! And thanks to Bethany Granger and Tarl Kudrick, co-publishers of On the Premises, for their interest in the piece and their meticulous care of it!
