adventures biographical cottons farm life lipogram playing punishment reprieve sins smoking stories

The folowing stories are tales from my childhood.  Some are excerpts from my unpublished manuscript; Blood of our Children, and others are just short stories.  The first story is a lipogram (removing all words with the letter "e").  You can see that in so doing the story becomes somewhat convoluted; clichés are twisted and phrasing is difficult (the story reads better with "e's" but you will have to buy the book, lol, if it every finds a publisher.  I would suggest that if you decide to right a lipogram you start from scratch.  I hope you enjoy these short stories find the humor in them, and most of all you remember the joy of childhood.All Rights Reserved
