If you're inclined to listen, it's the first story that he reads that is my pick. It's from a local radio program and is exactly 15 minutes long.

The Dusty Show with Clay Pigeon - October 29, 2009
Introduction and Excuses
"Perfection's Hand" by Clay Pigeon
I suppose this story is loosely based on a recent hospice experience I had with my mom. Although she certainly wasn't like the woman in this story in ANY way. Actually, it was a humbling and life-changing thing, being in that place. I think hopice does magnificent things for families and those at the end of life. Maybe this story was a way of dealing with that experience now that some time has passed.
I feel bad that I didn't get to do an interview-based show. A real Halloween Special, as it were. And I realize that as a writer, I leave a LOT to be desired. Thanks to those of you actually make it through this episode.
