Great Effort Unrewarded
I've needed to fix my truck so I can sell it. The part that attaches one set of leaf springs to the frame is broken. I found ONE place in California that sold it and dropped fifty bucks on it. I'm there in the driveway, my compressor full of air, my impact wrench all oiled up, a tarp to lie on, an electric grinder plugged in and ready to go, a ( Read more... ) -
Another story
It's been quite a while since I inflicted one of my stories on you, so I thought I'd throw another one on the fire. This is in the "Crouton War" series. If you remember, it's a bunch of stories told by an old man sitting on his porch somewhere in Kentucky. I hope you like it.

This is one of my darker humor pieces, written when I was in an utterly foul mood. This version was directed towards men. I had one that was for men and women both, but I seem to have lost it ( Read more... ) -
home
I've been working on this story for over twenty years. Every year or so I revisit it and change a word or add a new one. It's not a very good story. Its about the place I go to when I'm feeling wistful and melancholy. I used to have to choke back tears when I read it, but now it just makes me sad ( Read more... ) -
