Benches

Inspired by Shakespeare's "As You Like It."
**********************************************************************************
Ever the Good Samaritan, Liz never hesitates to help out anyone. . . after a few strong shoves from her saintly mother, of course. One day, Liz volunteers to pick up her little brother from soccer practice with surprisingly little prodding. The fact that she was promised Taco Bell and a pass on taking out the trash is irrelevant. But when she meets a mysterious stranger in the park where she may or may not have been stalking him, Liz promises to become Mother Theresa if it will make attractive boys fall out of the sky and into her lap. Although he seems charming, the hot guy from the bench in the woods is obviously hiding something. Mafia involvement? Drug lord father? Abandoned on a church step in a cardboard box? Only time will reveal the truth to be something far worse yet infinitely better than Liz ever dared to hope.
