Description
Two boys trapped in a collapsing coal mine, embraced only by pitch-black darkness and the sickening squeal of timber being slowly crushed--how could anyone find humor in such a situation? Well, "George's Priority", the first little story in "A Pale Horse and 40 Other Tales", does.
And how could a sprout from an old sassafras stump give a life lesson from father to son? Again, a little story-titled "Sassafras"-just might do it.
What of the statuesque woman whose siren-like scream of "DON'T TOUCH ME," stopped a wedding reception cold? Even the orchestra, shocked by the scream, stopped! What was her problem? What became of her? Perhaps "Don't Touch Me" might answer those questions.
"To Kill A Friend" is a story of how beauty often attracts the ugliest of acts. It is one of the few stories in "A Pale Horse and 40 Other Tales" that is not a happy story. Most of the others stand a good chance of making you smile.
