A Man Called Stone

by Paul Ballinger

Stone is his only name. He was raised in an orphanage until he accidently killed a teacher who was raping a younger boy. He ran away and continued his education under the tutelage of Boss Tweed and the women at the whore house where he lived. Tweed taught him a lot. But he learned even more from the women. Stone wanted to "go West" and set out on a new adventure that involved a ship wreck, battles with Indians and outlaws, and eventually an "evening of the score" with the orphanage director. But Stone's best adventure began with a woman named Katie.
