    About this ebook

    In a world of black ink on a white background resides the fictional town of Good Ol' Days. Born and raised in the divisive comic, college student Curious Negro finds his way to the boarder of his world.

    With his curiosity driving him, Curious leaves behind the confining panels to explore this new world. Getting caught will mean trouble, but Curious has risked worse before…or so he thought.

      The Education of Mrs. R.

      Sep 6, 2022

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.
