My name is Shelby and I like being told stories and sharing my own when asked. My sincerest goal is to contribute to the tradition of the American short story.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
“Eli, The Barrowboy” by The Decemberists, from “Picaresque”

Eli, The Barrowboy-The Decemberists

“Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe 
Made of gold and silk Arabian thread.
She is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove 
And I must push my barrow all the day.”
