🎬"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" by James Thurber

"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" by James Thurber, read by Mattie Overall.
Time for another short story, I'd say. And this time, I'll be reading Thurber's classic tale about a man's refusal to accept his dreary reality. Why should he waste his time in this world, with all of it's failures and disappointments...when he can escape at will to worlds where the only limitation is his own imagination.
And in his worlds, he always gets to be the hero.

Your preambles really get me worked up to hear the story. They are a favorite part of your episodes. Your narration/acting is amazing. I hope you’ll turn out more stories soon.

[@MattiesStoryland]

Thank you Julia, and I certainly have more stories in the works. Free time to complete them is my only constraint 😞 ...but complete them I shall 😀

Thanks, Crystal 😀 My American accent is a work in progress...it's not there yet, but it is improving. Slowly.

The story begins with a daydream and ends with another daydream; there are five daydreams in this short story. A daydream affords an escape into a fantasy world where WM is the hero.

I think part of the reason I like this story so much is that there's a little Walter Mitty in me. Ha, maybe more than a little.

Thank you again Mattie.

And thank you again for being so supportive, Len. Apologies for my recent tardy replies; life has been getting in the way a little as of late. This is in part why it's been so long since I've uploaded a new reading, but I hope to rectify that very shortly. I've been working on a rather ambitious reading (well, ambitious for me) that I hope to have out in the next few days.
