Summary:

Years ago taverns up our way served "short beer", a seven ounce serving of whatever was the cheapest draught, usually Utica Club, Genesee Cream Ale or Ballantine. When I attained legal drinking age a "short" cost a quarter. Last time I found a place that served one it was three times that price. This poem has been in one of my notebooks for a long time though in a much different form. Comments welcome.

"Silly insight" did not seem to be a genre here (or anywhere else, lets be honest). This came to me as I listened to Daniel (my ninety year old toddler) tell me stories in broken English. I'm thinking of adding it to a collection of stories, but I don't know how it would come across to the rest of the world. Thoughts?

This is a piece I have struggled with and in no way is at all adequate to express my heartfelt feeling for veterans. During my stay on this site,my words have been misunderstood. I know myself .. my heart .. my soul I am at peace with that. I hate war. My guts twist in pain due to the horror it deals out to those who fight. I judge war.. I do not judge warriors. This piece is for all veterans who war haunts them day in and day out. I have something that haunts me day in and day out. So perhaps I understand the tiniest bit but in not way am I saying I understand the walk of a military man or woman

Truth, deception, and an unreliable narrator (in more ways than one). This is NOT a gothic or Halloween story. Please note that there are some long, rambling sentences. This is intentional. Can you follow the story easily? Do you find it a good read? Posted in two parts, but should be read continuously if possible. Thanks.
