Within these pages you will find short stories that embody fact, fantasy and humor, drawn from the experiences, imagination, and reflections of the author's life. From humorous episodes teaching band, to a grim nightmare in a concentration camp, from a whimsical visit of a dumpster king, to the torture of riding a bike at midnight on Willms Road, this book runs the gamut of Michael's passionate imagination. This is his fifth book following Sanitarium, a fictitious WWII drama, The Navy, an autobiographical account of time spent on an island 78 miles from Russia, Passport, the story of a horrific chain of events set in New Zealand, and The 21 Mile House, set in 1886 in which death stalks the halls of an abandoned way station.
