This is one of my stories that appeared in the latest issue of the online magazine DEFENESTRATION: A LITERARY MAGAZINE DEDICATED TO HUMOR. Look it up. Maybe you will laugh a little.
As a bonus I offer this limerick: A man there was who had many ills / For each of them he took several pills / He talked to a simple fellow he knew / His opinion was short and probably true: / “Don’t take any more of them pills. They kills!”
Thanks for tuning in. Herb
