Summary:

PAUL WEEKES knows all about poverty, after a harsh childhood spent raising both himself and his younger cousin Mark, who refuses to grow up. He now runs a farm on the island of Xantrope, cultivating ground provisions and marijuana for export, because he refuses to risk a return to the poverty of his past. Things get complicated when the corrupt police officer who facilitates Paul decides he wants a bigger cut of the illicit business. Worse, Mark is involved in a murder and a hit-and-run accident involving the police officer’s niece. Paul has his hands full coping with danger from Mark’s associates, orchestrated attempts to hijack his goods, keeping himself alive and pursing a romantic interest. ******For want of somewhere else to put this, I've termed it Other. It can best be described as Romantic Suspense.

Let me know what you think, as far as general comments as well as the specific aspects of it (use of flashback, language, etc.).

Summary:

A boxer makes his comeback to the ring. A man makes his comeback to his life. EDIT 2/1: As noted, this is probably the final edit of this. I'm actually thinking of making this into a novella or even a novel, and I'm curious as to what you all think. I made some changes, made the voice a little more consistent (I think) and I added in a few different phrases that may be more metaphorical, and I'm curious if they work. Also, I changed the ending a bit, and I'm also interested in seeing if that works too. So yeah, any more feedback is great.

Summary:

Here's one of my fond memories of something my daughter said in public when she was six. I intended it to be first a person memoir but after reading Mickey's review of Dale's story, I thought I'd write it as a story. The conversation between my daughter and me is verbatim. Little devil! Grrr!
