About this ebook
The author recalls some hairy incidents and particular customers on his newspaper route in east Charlotte in the late '70s. The ending is a graphic surprise.
Approx. 1500 words.
If this tale were a movie it would most likely be rated PG-13 (for a foul language outburst).
Sex: None.
Violence: None.
Mr. Malloy: Absent.
Real-life accuracy: Extremely high.
Strangeness level: Low.
