I keep several short stories going so I have something to turn to when I need a break from working on a book. I was working on such a story this evening when a depressing thought struck me. The world these stories take place in no longer exists. And I'm not sure if it comes back. Most of my stories take place in the "now". But the "now" in the stories I've started, including the book I'm working on is no longer reality. So why am I bothering?
