    About this ebook

    A dozen stories by the elusive Craig Rodgers. Some of the stories have been published before in literary journals, some of them now defunct. Others are seeing print for the first time. All of them are distinctly stories that could only have been written by Craig Rodgers, a writer who doesn't care about fads or schools, only words and stories.

      In the thin dawn, a stained curtain teases its hem across my lips. A gust of wind catches the hem and flicks away sleep, out through the window to the busy street below. I am on the floor of a stranger’s lounge. Beside my head is a shoe print on a pi
