The Cop and the Anthem by O. Henry

Season 1: Episode 10

O. Henry was the pen name used for William Sydney Porter. He was an American short story writer who lived from 1862 to 1910. He’s noted for his surprise and twist endings. You may come across the term from time to time, an “O. Henry ending.” That’s what that means. That there was some twist or surprise at the end. The one we’re reading today is called "The Cop and the Anthem."

If you've written a story and would like the chance for it to be read on the show, please email it to storykingpodcast@gmail.com 

Keep it clean and under 3000 words. I prefer speculative fiction, but will appreciate a good story in any genre.
