Three short stories.  A reformed ne're do well who has a relapse that turns into a silver lining.  An old guy who challenges himself.  And a runner who wins his race, sort of.

A throwback to my fantasy writing days.

Previously published in a zine but this version is much better!  A quick 4400 word read!

Unemployed and short on cash, Phil Fairchild's financial outlook is bleak.

Helped by his less than straight-laced friend who live off the royalties

of a famous nineteenth century writer, Phil is vulnerable to the garden of earthly delights.  Filled with moments both absurdly funny and personally touching, Big Knuckles is a fun and enderaring read.

They are rich.  They are senile.  They are sick, psychotic, vain, and greedy.  And bohemian Neil Cardell suffers from mutational longevity as a retirement community figures out how to deal with the future.

The sequeal to Big Knuckles.  Phil, now an upper cruster, gets dragged back into the sleaze.
