BEEN A LONG TIME:
Bad vacations never end, they just get worse�.

A Gritty Press Short Story of Neverending Torment
By award-winning author Matthew P. Mayo

Ready for the vacation of a lifetime? What if it lasted forever � and ever � and ever?

Been a Long Time

He was looking for a vacation, a getaway to fulfill childhood fantasies. He was finally going to be a cowboy. An honest-to-god, fast-ridin�, quick-shootin�, hard-drinkin� cowboy. And a highly recommended time-travel company was going to make it happen.

He should have been worried when the pretty attendant strapping him in said the machine�s problems were finally fixed. All the bugs had been worked out�.

He should have said something. But now it�s much too late. He is trapped in a run-down, fly-blown, forsaken Western town he can�t leave. Each day repeating, each day worse than the last. Trapped. With no hope of escape. Ever.


Oh, the horror of it all! It�s another tooth-grinding, eye-rolling, freaky Gritty Press Short Story, by award-winning author Matthew P. Mayo, that will help convince readers to never, ever, under any circumstances, take a vacation. Ever!
