    About this ebook

    Included in the collection are three tales:
    “Once Upon a Time in The Bronx” follows a day in the life of Cormac Macarthy, a tough Irish immigrant urchin living in New York. Cormac never really paid attention to girls, but a chance encounter with a beautiful older girl motivates Cormac to risk it all, and use his talents in the street to earn her affection, even if it means going outside the law.
    Next, face the truth in “Hangover.” When Sasha wakes up from a night of hard drinking, she is shocked to discover a most unusual bedmate—not a stranger, but her best friend.
    Finally, in “Magnum Opus,” after his latest work is rejected by yet another gallery, Henri, a struggling artist, confronts the realities of trying to live his dreams in a world where dreams are commodified and success may mean giving all he has.
