“One Inch From The Sun” • Written and Narrated by Rob Dircks

Hey, Rob here. I don’t have a lot of background for this story, but here’s how it started: I was talking to a friend, and she mentioned going on vacation somewhere super hot, and she said “It’s like one inch from the Sun.” And I immediately thought, “Oh my God, that’s the perfect title for a story.”  So this popped out, and at the end I have a question for you. Also, it is not lost on me that I coincidentally finished this story a year later exactly when the fires are raging out in California. I was going to postpone it, but then I thought, you know, this might be the right time to explore themes and questions like this. I don’t know...
