Cory Gilbert has always been a story teller. Ever since he could remember. The desire to share the stories that are constantly filling his head, whether he’s at work or trying to sleep, is a passion that cannot be contained any longer. He has spent the last year studying the written word.

This ten word story was typed on a Triumph Du Jour manual typewriter c. 1940’s. Let’s call her Trudy. Beautiful, crisp type, this German-made machine is a sturdy and reliable friend. Homeliness aside, she’s a champ.
