Here are a few sample stories from book two.
Two Years He’d Been Obsessed With Her
Had been at the desk across from him.
Couldn’t stop thinking about her, dreamed of her.
“Have a surprise; I’ll be at your place at 7PM.”
Tonight’s the night, why else would she call?
Towel wrapped around him, he opened the door.
She stood holding a cake, surrounded by his co-workers all singing Happy Birthday.

What Goes Around Comes Around
“Believe that?”
“Yes. Universal Law.”
“How do you know?”
“Look around. You see it happen every day. If you’re nice to someone you will be rewarded.”
“Sure?”
“Yes.”
“A year ago I stopped to help a stranded motorist.”
“What happened? “
“He stabbed me and took my car.”
“Oh. You must have bad karma.”
“Yes. Universal Law.”

My Kid’s a Computer Whiz!
“What do you mean?”“At 16 he can work an I-Phone.”
“And?”
“Can really get that X-Box going.”
“OK?”
“Scores high in Kill Them Until They’re Dead combat game.”
“Wow.”
“He can send those sex-text messages.”
“Can he sit down with pencil, paper, and add two numbers?”
“He’s a computer whiz, not a math genius!”
What Really Happened in Garden of Eden?
“Hey, Adam. Taste this.”
“Apple from the snake?”
“Yep.”
“He said not to.”
“It’s good. It’s real good, Baby. Trust me.”
“Yes, it is.”
Voice boomed from above, “Leave the garden and forever be cursed.”
“Wow, nice boobs. What should we do?”
“Heck with him, let’s take off these stupid fig leaves and fool around.”
Relationships
First date. Best time to quit!
Guys’re crazy over you know what!
See you again? Sure, $500 please.
Surfboard of romance, headed toward rocks.
There’s no antidote for magical thinking.
Elixir of life. Drink cautiously, sparingly.
Looking at life through fogged windows.
Uninformed rarely question or seek evidence.
Superstition, Myths, Pseudoscience, and Such
Chiropractors and churches. No more needed.
Mother Nature is not actually fickled.
Believe anything. Remember, Santa loves you.
Respect your rights, not your beliefs.
