Thanks to my lovely wife I got a night to myself, away from kids and responsibilities.  I closed up in a coffee shop and dedicated myself to my favourite creative pursuit.  Have a read and let me know what you think in the comments.  Thanks for taking to time to explore my work.

Hello all,

Back again for another story so soon, I had an inspired moment and found a new coffee shop that I really like so some writing happened.  Nikola Tesla has always been one of my favorite history figures so when my lovely wife suggested I make him part of my next writing prompt, ideas started to spin right away.  Please read on and enjoy, hopefully this sparks a fascination for Nikola Tesla in you, he is worth looking up.  Thanks for your readership.

Enjoy,

Drew
