Finding Inspiration

While sorting through storage boxes at home, I found an old notebook belonging to my son. It wasn't a school exercise book, but something he'd jotted and doodled in as a twelve-year-old. Among its random pages was a short story he'd written in 2014 about a father who doesn't have "great ideas".
