Second Interruption From Freedomland

by Bob Mustin

Abraham, a tribal leader of the Freedom People, begins to grow weary of the challenges to his leadership, the duplicity of his tribesmen, an aide's desire for Abraham's spouse, Hagar. One of his henchmen tries to steal some beaver meat Abraham has harvested, and Abraham punishes him. But this begins to bring to a head the collective resentment the tribe holds for Abraham.

About the author

I've had a brief naval career and a longer one as a civil engineer in Georgia. During the early '90s, I was the editor of a small literary journal, The Rural Sophisticate, based in Georgia. In 2003, I was a North Carolina Writers Network writer-in-residence at Peace College under the late Doris Betts' guiding hand. My work has appeared in The Rockhurst Review, Elysian Fields Quarterly, Cooweescoowee, Under The Sun, Gihon River Review, Reflections Literary Journal, and at thesquaretable.com, raving dove, Sport Literate, The Externalist, Language and Culture, and R.KV.R.Y in electronic form. I also have two novels and one novella to my credit. A collection of connected short stories will be published late in 2012 or early 2013.
