My dues

I owe a debt to Franz Kafka as do Philip Roth and Milas Kundera. His groundbreaking plot-lines opened another literary world, one of uncharted territory still being explored today. I worry that my story ideas are too kafkaesque and I should find other plot lines and structure if a story collection is to be complete. Other ideas that could turn into stories that I have interest in are Destiny, military history, science fiction, poetry, honor, westerns.
