From the Author
I love short fiction. Sadly, short stories currently are not in demand. They belong to a bygone world where people subscribed to pulp magazines like Weird Tales and Amazing Stories. There are still periodicals and anthologies around, but they just don't sell well. It seems now that we short story writers have lost our readers to smart phone aps and social networking.Oh well, times change. Call me a relic, but I still enjoy a good yarn written in 1,500 to 7,500 words.
 
Short story writing is a craft in and of itself. I have read too many short stories that are nothing more than a snatch of time during a character's every-day life, or a description of a rogue walking down a dark street. Characters that make life-changing decisions and suffer the consequences drive the best short stories. I hope you enjoy this collection.Consider them peeks into the lives of mostly unfortunate souls as they face their penultimate hours of elation or dread.
 
The problem of presentation order beset me as I put this compilation together. In the end, I decided to put them in order from longest to shortest. I think it might give you the sense of reading downhill.It's always more fun to run down than to trod up.
