Three Short Stories

By Alan Crawford

Three Short Stories – Bloodbath – The Gruesome Murders, deals with a man applying a brutal approach to satisfying his need. A Tale of an EHO (Environmental Health Officer) includes food safety and adult entertainment, reluctant and good looking food operators, cult like Church leadership and adult entertainment venue ownership. It’s a complicated tale. Learning to Kill explores how a professional hitman and his family educate their son. Each story swims in unpleasant situations. Even though the content is aimed at a mature audience, it may seem to be immature at times. They are just the beginning, with more planned.

I'm a slightly bored, grumpy old man trying to bring a smile to others. More of my strange writing can be found at https://www.alancrawford.com.au which aims to lighten the load in a mixed up world. I'm living on the Gold Coast in Australia, while watching the rest of this mixed up world with a bemused giggle. Sadly America is not much of a giggle at the moment.
