Once Upon A Time...At The Learning Annex

by Michael Canfield

He came from nowhere, footing across sand and brush, to confront a parking lot and an Edge City. He made his way through rows and rows of parked cars, an unlit stub of cheroot between scarred lips. When he removed his hat to wipe the sweat, his heavy brow still cast shadow over dark eyes. The creases surrounding his mustache cut like canyons. How tall? 6'4," 6'10,"? Tree tall.


Includes bonus stories: "Kank's Last Breath" and "Borges, Yo!"
