Memorialday Stories

Hello folks!! Here is another short story collection filled with all kinds of possibilities, that no one can even fathom! Dead alligators, gorgeous women wearing thigh high boots, falling pianos, random library conversations, and cartoon style violence await! Everyone lives rent free in the fictional realm! ;)

The dead don't frighten Bob Turner. It's the living he worries about. Bob Turner is a cemetery groundskeeper - steady, ordinary, the kind of man who fixes what's in front of him and doesn't make a fuss. But when the ghosts of long‑dead soldiers begin appearing along his evening rounds, Bob becomes the one person they trust to carry their last stories home. He never asked for this. He certainly never wanted it. But he listens - because someone has to. As Memorial Day approaches, Bob finds himself caught between the quiet life he's built with his wife Janet and daughter Patty, and the unfinished business of men who never made it back. Each encounter pulls him deeper into a history he never lived but now shoulders with a quiet, stubborn grace. A grounded, intimate story about ordinary duty, unexpected burdens, and the small acts of courage that keep the living and the dead connected.
