Welcome to More Than a Story, where each episode is an original short story… and a little more. At the end of each episode, I’ll talk briefly about an idea you can take away from it. Something to inspire you or to make you think. Ideas to help us take a look at our own stories so we can make them truly wonderful. My name is Derek Henig, and it’s my mission here--and in everything I do--to fill your day with something good. So, without further ado, I hope you enjoy… More Than a Story!
