For those not in my email group where I announced my latest story and missed it on SOL's Home page and New Stories pages… well, I have a new story on SOL called "The Retard." It was written for fun as a lighthearted story. I tried to make parts of it humorous, but I did not include the "humor" tag since I don't know if I succeeded.
One reader gave me feedback about using the word "retard." I guess it's not politically correct to do that anymore. But that's how the teenagers in the story refer to the man so it made sense to me to use it. And if you read it to the end, you will learn the significance of doing so.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading the story as much as I did writing it.
