This little short story is one of the many (actually, one of the most important) reasons I love my Kindle and e-books.  This little offering by Theresa Weir was a delight from the first sentence on.  What a creative mind Weir has.The other reviewers here have given a very nice little rundown on the plot so I will not linger long on that aspect of the story.  Max, while in utero, wrote his first novel on the wall of his mother's uterus.  Then, as bad luck would have it, he was born.  Max spends the better part of his life in remorse having lost his novel, and trying to recapture that magic time.I found myself chuckling several times and actually laughing at least twice while reading this thing.  The tongue in cheek wit is catching in a subdued and subtle way...the author uses perfect timing when she uses her "punch line."  But, as other reviewers have pointed out, there is a certain reality at play here and we get a very nice peek into the inside of a writer's soul...if that is what you want to call it.  I was amused during most of the book, yet just a wee bit saddened and concerned at the same time.What ever the emotion, Theresa Weir most certainly knows how to tell a story.  There was not one thing about this entire tale that I did not enjoy.These short stories that you are able to download at any time are wonderful.  They have taken the place of the old magazine giants of decades past, where a reader could plunk down some change and for relatively little money, have a very good reading experience.  The days of those great old publications are long gone now and they left a horrible void for those of us who love reading.  This void, to a certain extent, is being fulfilled now and I personally feel we are going to see many more quality reading made available to all of us.Trust me on this one folks...it is most certainly worth the time spent reading...you will not regret it.Don BlankenshipThe Ozarks
