About the Author: Sold stories and poems. Just finished a novel some agents are reading; God, I hope they like it. Recently finished a screenplay for a producer of the Walking Dead based on a Jeffery Dever short story. Won EMMYS. Won a bronze once in the Punk Pass & Kick contest.
Like the primetime TV detectives say: the facts and nothing but the facts.
Here goes:
Dave Mumbro got stewed and drove his station wagon, a snot-green ’64 Plymouth Vista Cruiser, around Quig the Pig’s yard. Dave ran over a birdbath, an aluminum chaise lounge, and two concrete garden elves. The garden elves were identical, except one had a painted blue hat and the other a red one.
Quigley, the town’s practically albino policeman, reacted properly. The next Thursday he drove to North Clinton and broke Dave’s nose, his jaw, and the station wagon’s windshield. Then Quigley kicked Dave, bloodying the back of his head to match the front.
It was fair; Dave had fun and then Quigley. That’s how things operated in a small coastal town, where the police were a select group of the cruelest hockey players the high school produced.
Just read and very much like “It’s All Relative.” The references to brands of beer and makes/models of cars added authenticity, for me. I’m wondering, Jerry, where in MA did you grow up? And where can I find additional samples of your work?
Great story, I like a nice bit of revenge.
It's the great writing style and choice of words that make this an enjoyable read. Well done!
I enjoyed the tone of the story. A nice light read.
Excellent story; pacing, details, dialog all crisp. Satisfying conclusion, too. Minutia- it's Gale Sayers.
A ha, nice twist to the story! Crisp, clean and engaging! I truly enjoyed the read! Took me by the hand and pulled me to the end...
Nice slice of white-trash life. Loved it.
Great style and good story, congrats
Great story!
Great job, Jerry!
Liked Uncle John, my kind of guy. He started his plan the moment he first shook Quiqley's hand and then followed through with it. Sucker! I am not a robot, you obsolete meatsicle.
A fun story. I didn't know where this tale was headed, but loved the ending.
I loved it! Great story, with good detail.
