New Short Story About Two Dead Guys

The First Time You Die

August 19, 2021

The First Time You Die

My new short story is now available at Amazon. It’s called “The First Time You Die.” Two dead guys are having a little chat. Sort of.

Please buy and copy, or, if you have Kindle Unlimited, read it that way. It will take average readers about 30 minutes. If you like it, please give it a thoughtful review.

It’s literary fiction based in a real cemetery near the Southside of Chicago. It is centered around one man giving a tour of the cemetery to another man. Both are dead, and the one giving the tour has been there for 50 years.

You’ll find that it is a monologue. Everything you know, everything you will learn, comes through the man giving the tour.

Some of his views will be frustrating, disagreeable, and maybe even offensive. Depending on your point of view, just the opposite.

For more of my writing, see my publisher, Tree Fort Books.
