Behind the Cut – Episode 9: Standstill

July 17, 2016 by cpgronlund Leave a Comment

Pocket watch - Behind the Cut – Episode 9: Standstill“Standstill” is one of those stories that turned into something more than I expected. People seem to really like this story, and I must say I like it enough that I want to do more with it in the future.

I’ve bumped into that problem with all the new stories I’ve written for Not About Lumberjacks.

(It’s not a bad problem to have…)

Standstill

July 3, 2016 by cpgronlund 3 Comments

A pocket watch. Standstill, written by Christopher Gronlund and narrated by Cynthia Griffith and Christopher GronlundWhen she was 18 — for her high school graduation — Maddy was given a pocket watch by her grandfather…along with the warning that it does more than just tell time.

Eighteen years later, she uses the button on the watch her grandfather told her to use with caution. What happens after clicking the button changes the lives of Maddy and her husband, Aaron.

A heartfelt tale about time and love…and the effect the two things have on us all…

Content Advisory: Swearing, sudden onset of cancer, death of a spouse, self doubt.
