    About this ebook

    A Small Town in Florida is a collection of three stories: "A Connection Test", "Dead and Almost Gone", and "A Hit."

    "A Connection Test" is a story of two people who come together in awkward attraction. After a horrible start, they create a life with each other and become happy, until they have to battle adversity.

    "Dead and Almost Gone" is the story of a mother at her son's deathbed. The last goodbye of a shared history of pain and neglect.

    "A Hit" tells the story of Michael, a hopeless romantic that struggles with addiction as he's thrust back into the world he abandoned to chase the love of his life.
