Opis

The Short Stories in this book are diverse in nature. Some of them hold a direct depiction of true events. Others began as dreams and were enhanced by my imagination. The Summer of 63 Considering today's world in 2014, 1963 was a simple time. No computers, no cell or smart phones, no social media at all. That summer JFK was still alive, and Camelot consumed Washington. All the young people loved Rock and Roll music. Personally, I experienced the Summer of a lifetime in 1963. I was 19 years old and struggling to work my way through college. Even though some of the events in my story seem improbable, I promise you all of them are entirely true to the extent of my memory. I hope you find the Reflections interesting. I relived all the events while writing the story. It was a blast. The next Story is titled Wonder. It's based on an actual event that happened to my boyhood friend George Ratliff and me on a dark moonless night on my sixteenth birthday. A strange and unexplainable phenomenon occurred on that night that has stayed with me for a lifetime. I enhanced the story and weaved in the theory of Time Travel. It is a mystery thriller, which I hope you enjoy. Shadows of the Mind - An Adult Fairy Tale Gods, and the lives of Queens and Princesses, living in a Fantasy Kingdom, are intertwined in the Reality of Life on earth, and the Dreams of a lonely man. The search for a soul mate is sometimes successful, but impossible to maintain. I promise you that you've never read anything like this. The Emergence of Life, Death, and Mortality is a story of an invincible man who faces death and a vision of heaven. Finally, Walk a Mile in My Shoes is a mystery thriller. Several years ago I had a dream about a crippled taxi driver being abused by an arrogant, immoral businessman. Later in the dream the evil guy woke up from a nap in an airport, only to find himself in the cripple guy's body. He was forced to Walk a Mile in that Man's Shoes and he was devastated. Take a ride with me in my imagination. I promise you will like it.
