These are some of my favorite stories, and some of my readers' favorites too.
The Ugliest Dragon is a fairy tale and a love story, and one of my lives lived stories. The ending still causes a lump in my throat every time I read it. I came up with a place to be a wondrous backdrop against which the bleak life of one of its inhabitants would stand out. I may explore it further, if time and circumstance permit. Parallel Lines Meet blends a traumatic event in my life with a might-have-been alternative denouement. Omagus is a story of evil, hunger, addiction, and eternal vigilance. Meet the Man-God who sank Atlantis. Welcome To The InfernalNet is also a lives lived story, but with a devilish twist. I like my portrayal of hell and His Loathsome Malevolence's life there so much that I intend to return. Hopefully not in freshly discorporated form. At The End Of Time Waiting For Who Knows is a modern re-imagining of Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot. Love to go is another blending of real details from my life with imagined calamitous world events. A possible afterlife scenario is explored. Lots of wordplay made writing it more fun than it could have been. I hope you enjoy one or more of these stories.
Thank you, L. David Holbrook Jr.
