BOOK DESCRIPTION
These Old Tales Volume Two is a compilation of six short stories, five poems, and five flash fiction tales. Both the stories and the poetry are dark fiction, but here is a brief synopsis of the six longer pieces within the compilation.
"The Patrol" visits the loneliness of war in-between the times when the fighting is taking place. It searches the dark recesses of the human mind for the horrid truths about war. It is within these folds the story takes a unique paranormal twist.
"The Daily News" is what one might call a moth man story. Lonely roads, deserted towns, and strange out-of-place newsstands are but the makings for a quick little story.
"Determination" takes place in another time, in a society unlike what we call normal. These people have found a way to make their utopian society function, and they will go to no end to preserve that perfection.
"After the Ocolitz" follows the tale of young Lindsay, and her quest to see the white foxes that visit their garage. She has many questions, and her mother's hesitant voice only piques her curiosity.
"Working From Home" finds a young man, curious as to what his father does for a living. The more he pries, the more the door opens, until there is no going back.
"Branded" focuses on a gunfight, and the reader is thrown into the battle and the struggle to discern what crimes have led to this end. Can Jake unravel this mess before time is up?
