Effing Dave

by S.L. Baron

Dave is the immortal the other immortals can't help but hate! As the rest of his race stays low-key, his prerogative is to make sure the world knows he's having a good time. He pops up, makes himself famous, then fakes his own death--repeatedly. But, honestly, who can resist a bad boy like that?

Dave is hilarious. He loves attention, especially when he can mess with people. The other immortals hate him for it, but after living such long lives, what’s a little risk? This is a delightful, humorous short story. Baron does an excellent job at making each character lovable and memorable in his own way—especially Dave, who can’t resist appearing in the newspapers and historical artwork, leaving clues for mortals to ponder. Highly recommended.

Enjoyable short with an intriguing concept, reminded me of the movie Hancock, with the little bit of humour, too. I liked the relationship between the protective brother and sister.

Definitely has the potential to be developed further.
