You'll Probably Need Stitches: Stories and Selected Fiction

by Robert Gerard Hunt

True stories about rogue altar boys, dreaded trumpet lessons, sibling intimidation, basement bombing raids, inept athleticism, incessant pinball, illegal vending to a minor, prison softball, invented profanity, brushes with death, living in Ohio Stadium, sexagenarian parents in the mosh pit, ill-fated travel, intolerable motivational speakers, and much more.

Plus a few made-up stories about things like dystopian sleep banking, bowling while guilty, and a satirical reinvention of classic literary boy detectives as pious Catholic sleuths.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll avoid chain link fences.
