(COMPLETED SHORT STORY COLLECTION)
Bud E. Ice is a functioning alcoholic and part-time lowlife located right outside the ratchet grounds of Southwest Philadelphia. His work typically involves a comedic take on social etiquette, race, class, sex, morality (or lack thereof), battles within the self, family issues, death, vulnerability, and whatever other realities seem relevant at the time of the writing. It's HIS reality, but a reality, nonetheless. So, the reader can either RELATE to it or LEARN something from it. After all, isn't that what this is all about? There are far worse ways to waste time.

I've been writing short stories that I hope to connect into a larger narrative at some point. The stories follow a 30-year old man named David, sober in Delray Beach, Florida. A year off alcohol, he faces an existential crisis as he still has no idea what direction his life is going in. Until one day, he meets Ellen, a 25-year old traveler with an impulsive approach to life. His newfound friend begins to share her worldview with him and she may yet learn a few things as well. This particular chapter finds our friends on a balcony having a conversation about an age old theme: Love. Hope you enjoy and check out further installments.
