Elliot's Secrets C C Carroll

Elliot's Secrets (previously "Me and Bobby Snow") was a semifinalist in the Screencraft Cinematic Short Story Contest. I firmly believe it would make a gtreat movie! So far, the ending has surprised every reader. Sad and joyous all at once. Perhaps the best story I've ever writen. This collection is dedicated to those who have suffered the pain of abuse, bullying, loneliness, and guilt. And to the millions who have endured the heartache, fatigue, and trauma associated with caring for and watching their loved one slowly succumb to disease or illness. Sometimes we need to sit back, take a deep breath, and realize things are not always as they seem.

Abused by his father and bullied by his peers, Elliot finally has someone he can talk to. But Bobby will be gone soon, and Elliot struggles with losing his only friend.

One More Day:
