Be Careful What You Wish For

Three months off from work? It sounds great, doesn't it? It's what everyone wishes for - a paid vacation, away from the stresses and strains of everyday life. Visiting an exotic destination and worrying only about where you are going to visit that day is an ideal way to move through life.

But what if that vacation is a result of an unfortunate accident? A vacation that consists of relaxing but not of the type you thought of?

This comedic short story (3,500 words) looks at an unintended vacation and how different it can be from what you thought. It takes you through twists and turns, doctor's visits and how one person copes with being "locked up" in an apartment not in Budapest or Paris, but in his own home.

It is perfect for a read on your way to work, or at lunch, or while you're waiting for your dinner to cook.
