The Curse of the Pewter Candlesticks is a short piece of (presumably) fiction regarding a pair of candlesticks, each bequeathed to one of two sisters, and the curse their grandfather placed upon them should they fail to come together once a year.
The Reluctant Gunfighter and the Hellfire Woman is a short story of the western genre, following the later years of a quick-draw gunslinger as he attempts to retire with the woman he loves.
What a fun story! This really was a fun read, leaving the reader wishing there was more to the story. The dialect impresses upon the reader the when and where the story is set, bypassing the need to get into lengthy descriptions. The character growth is subtle but wonderful and the ending inspired happy-crying.
When the May Flowers Bloomed is a brief memory of the author's tradition of celebrating May Day with his family, schoolmates, and friends, both young and old. The author does a good job of bringing the story to life, sharing the story of making his various friends around town smile with his gifts of flowers—and candy for the right person. The brief glimpse into how some of the grownups earned his affection provides further reminders of a time that lives only in the stories and memories of the people who lived it. This piece provides insight into a way of life that is gone, and may provide precious memories for descendants of those who grew up in this town or this time period.
Just a Little Trip Downtown, a funny story about a man's English sports car, is a well-told, light story that exposes the author's blind spot about his MG. The story is both self-deprecating and matter-of-fact."©2023 Richard Edward Rouse (P)2024 Richard Edward Rouse
