Second Chances
Second Chances
by Fred Barnett
My life has been nearly perfect. For that, I am grateful. (Sort of.)
We all know that nearly perfect just doesn’t cut it these days.
So, I changed my life, rewrote it, and now it’s all first-rate.
Action packed! Really snappy.
Why did I do this?
Because, I prefer to hang out with the cool kids — the popular kids.
The ones that really matter.
If I can do this, you can too!
____________
My book includes the stories:
You Want a Piece O’ Me? —
A detective and his childhood sweetheart paint a schoolroom with their own blood.
Surfing Into L.A. —
Three young surfers, ride giant tidal waves, much further than they’d ever imagined, in the pre-dawn hours of March 28, 1964.
Oh, Him Again—
A genie who runs off with his master’s mistress.
The Eighth Deadly Sin—
A beaten man is delivered from the sea into unwelcoming arms.
A Match Made in Hell—
Two drama addicted lovers who crave complete devastation, as a weekend hobby.
No Noose is Good Noose—
Ether and Anesthesia Gray ... Blah, blah, blah ... These kids are deadly bores.
The Kingdom of the Cats—
A “human black hole” is reborn under his house — with the help of his not-so-dead cats.
By the Beautiful Sea—
The young cannibal finds a special gift for his girlfriend.
Dust Bunnies
It’s the maid’s day off.
Rock Invasion — The Novella
Thousands of years ago, Therpsicore, the muse of dance was born to Zeus and Mnemosyne. When the Pantheon of Gods met on Mount Olympus, many years later in 1921, she was given a new title: The Goddess of Music.
Today, she calls herself Cori.
From on a tiny gold planet, with the help of the alien song writing team Buddy and Ada Brill, Cori will embark on a mission to bring new music and renewed life to a “musically square” blue marble named Earth, which today, has less cool swing than a hangman’s noose, man.
There will be much heat along the way. With the help of a ghostly platoon of bald (and very dead) singers - The Chrome Domes, the Goddess and her minions must first fight to revive the confidence of an aging teen idol named Johnny Passion.
A final battle for the Earth’s hipness looms, as Cori and her friends must also defeat Anthony Rubio, the “God of Sleaze” and inventor of CRAP (Country-Rap) music, who heads an army of ponytailed, middle-aged shit-heels.
