When Hannah tells Steven, the new kid, about what happened at the school Halloween gathering last year, he gets much more information than he bargained for.
Joe DiBuduo grew up poor in Boston. He had a troubled childhood and spent time in reform and training schools. As an adult, the house of corrections beckoned him and he spent time there too. A quick turn of fate led him to California and then Chicago, where he married and had children. He spent the next thirty years working as a construction painter, heading wherever the jobs were and working in many states.
DiBuduo is now retired and lives in Prescott, Arizona, where he studied creative writing at Yavapai College. Anger used to be a daily part of his life until he began to write. Now if something upsets him, he writes about it.
DiBuduo is the author of "A Penis Manologue: One Man's Response to The Vagina Monologues" and several collections of flash fiction and "poetic flash fiction." He also has poetry, short fiction, and children's published in journals and anthologies.
