“Good morning, Mr. Captain,” said Mr. Barnes, drolly. “Good morning, Jack,” Mr. Captain replied. “What brings you here so early?” “I’m not sure,” said Mr. Barnes. “No one’s in the office yet, and I’m expecting a big shipment, so I just thought I’d pass the time here, if you don’t mind.” “’Course not, want someContinue reading “A Quick Death / a story by Tom Evans”

“The Kissing Girl” / a story by Tom Evans
I first encountered her in the lunchroom at grade school, going from table to table and swooping down on a boy of her choosing, first wiping her mouth with her arm then planting a wet one on his unsuspecting cheek.
