Three Odd Tales

By George Thomas Swikehardt

Welcome to Creelyville: Slick Rick was on the run. Police were on the hunt for him after a failed robbery attempt. Then he found a town he thought would be easy pickings.

 

The Failure: Carl Watkins was always a wannabe who never was. A life of failure found him living in a one-room dump in a building full of losers. Then, one day, the opportunity for fame came his way. Perceived opportunities, however, don't always work out as planned.
 

The Counselor: An unlikely stranger walks into a dying town in the old west. Severe drought has brought the remaining residents to the point of desperation. The Counselor, a strange and slightly deformed old man, offers his counsel and advice. But is all advice worth heeding?

Writing, for me, has always been a case of 'write when you feel it' and not when you have to force it. This has resulted in short stories, poetry and novels that are few and far between.  If the words do not flow easily and need to be forced, I cannot believe in the end result.  The sequel to this novel is in progress and waiting for the inspiration needed to finish the last half of the manuscript.  That may happen tomorrow or next month.  When I feel it.  Hopefully soon.
