This story originally appeared in a print journal which has just set up an on-line version. If you want to read something of sports literature, I offer it for your enjoyment:
Nice story, David! I liked the bread and butter--no, make that bread and ghee--straightforwardness of style.
It's the very first piece of 'sports literature' I've ever read. Thanks for the chance--glad I took it!
I write fiction also. I enjoyed your piece, although I would lie,to see more of the town and the people. Lena is described well. But weather, temp, smells? Google: "Worm Daddy" Lance Levens. I apologize if this sounds like I'm lecturing.
