20-20

By akanbi

20 short (2020 words approx) stories to be submitted on the 20th of every month (i.e. for the next 20 months) starting from 20 July 2010 - A personally imposed format and deadline, publicly declared, to concentrate the mind and kick-ass my wavering motivation into life.

At the end of each story, I will be setting out a 200 word (approx) rough synopsis of the next instalment together with the working title.
