The Story That Got Away

I had a story idea this weekend and jotted down a few notes. This morning on the ferry, I fleshed it out a bit--about 200 words. Just now, I was trying to copy the contents of my work into another memo so I could turn the notes into an outline and through a dumb mistake, I managed to erase all of it. The story didn't fully get away, though--it's still fresh enough in my memory to redo. I'm sitting in the Owl and Whistle pub, drinking Guiness. I missed the 6:20 ferry since things were still pretty busy at work today. I'm going to meet with Wendy tonight at Bainbridge Performing Arts, where she's teaching two animation classes. We're going out to dinner.
