Fidelity

"Fidelity," my first published short story, has just appeared in my email inbox.

That's pretty cool.

If you feel compelled, head to Daily Science Fiction's facebook page, where there's a thread for discussion of the story.

    Just read it. Great story, Ben. Very haunting -- short, sweet, and a kick in the gut. Congratulations on your first sale! I have a feeling we'll be seeing more. :-)

    Good read. I kept going back and forth as to if what the father saw was reality, or perhaps a mental illness that kept him from seeing Sophie really hadn't gone. I still wasn't entirely sure when I finished the piece.

    Hi, Ben! I received your story in my e-mail this morning and just wanted to stop by and say that I thought it was really good! Quite original, as well. I started to read it on my phone during a quick break at work and I was actually late going back 'cause I didn't want to stop reading it, LOL. Hope to read more from you in the future!

    Congrats on your first sale!!! My first sale was with DSF as well.

    Congrats on your first published story!

    I received it a few days ago through DSF but only had the chance to read it today. Keep it up! Hope to read more from you in the future.
