A Summer Hike
By Mike Bozart
()
About this ebook
The author and his small dog go on a hike near Black Mountain (NC, USA) on a nice day in June of 2004. However, sullen thoughts concerning his crumbling first marriage mar the outing. When he stops to rest a second time, the cruel hand of fate snatches his faithful companion.
Approximately 1700 words.
Largely autobiographical.
No sex.
No violence (at least not witnessed or expressed).
No drugs or alcohol in this one.
No Mr. Malloy.
If this little tale were a movie, it would most likely be rated PG-13 for the dark, adult-themed thoughts.
