Eight Hours with Oscar

|WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM| A struggling writer finds comfort in a goldfish after a flight cancellation to New York City, but when an unexpected accident occurs, the fish and man must remain calm until help arrives. *** Twenty-four-year-old Bailey hates and loves writing and dreams of becoming an editor and author. During a trip to New York City for an interview with the New York Times, a snowstorm cancels his flight, and he's forced to stay in a Marriot overnight, where he meets Oscar the Goldfish. Oscar has met many people over the past few months, but none have intrigued him as much as Bailey. He acts as a therapy fish and listens to Bailey's writing and life concerns. The two begin to bond, but when an unexpected accident occurs during Hour Seven, they must put their differences aside and help one another through the tense situation. Will Oscar and Bailey's newfound friendship overcome the accident, or will they succumb to their pasts and grow apart as most fish and man do? Hour Eight will determine everything. *** *Moral: The past is the past; this is the future.* *A novelette inspired by a story I heard at work about Oscar the Goldfish.* *Weekly updates*
