    About this ebook

    In this flash fiction compilation, writer Michael Overman takes readers on an emotional ride. The first stop is in a low lit, mob boss's office in Chicago where we are surrounded by the most dangerous men in the city. "The Day Charlie Became a man," is a thrilling, mobster, coming of age story. Overman shows the reader what it takes for Charlie to be accepted by his father and into the mob. Next stop is "The Magic Strain" where readers will have a laugh in the crappy little apartment of a 37-year-old burn out, Steve. Steve tests out a new strain of marijuana he just invented. The strain has some strange powers, but they may not be what they first seem. For the last stop, readers may need to reach into the glove compartment and pull out some tissues as they watch a drug addict struggle with his addiction in "The Box" Nate has to overcome his drug addiction that he acquired after accidentally running over his own child if he ever wants to see his wife and other child again.
