The Great Wasting is an investigative tale, that follows a slender thread back to the early 1900's in the West Sierran foothills, USA, where a story is unearthed that some may take as a parable, regarding a medical intervention that was recently rushed onto the market.
Many will applaud the parody, but undoubtedly many more will feel somewhat affronted. Then when you consider a sprinkling of 'theys' and wokes has been stirred in, plus the fact many treated the 'safe and effective' narrative as a quasi-religion, there could be cause for great seething, with the most outraged having lost sight of the fact---- it's only a story.
The second short tale, 'I give myself to you, ' is a quest for survival set in Mid-Europe, 39,000 BC, that throws fresh light on why our Neanderthal cousins became extinct.
The third tale, 'A mathematical incentive, ' set in the late 1950's England, manages to be both naïve and suggestive, telling what befalls a young innocent as he passes into the confusing world of adolescence.
