I am Top Hat Al ( a.k.a. Allie Treece ), author of the LGBT novel UNDER THE GAYDAR.  I am also a songwriter and vocalist, father of 5, and the spokesperson for ALL THEM WITCHES a traveling Occult shop that I own and operate with my wife ( and professional Tarot & Pslm Reader) Mistress Candie.  I intend to publish my short stories on this platform and hope you enjoy reading them. The first titled Top Hat Al & The Richis a comic book style short story inspired by a goofy picture my best friend Richard made of he and I depicted as men in black secret agents working for Penguins...it's an inside joke, but made a great ridiculous short story. Enjoy and Blessed Be.....and never trust a chicken with your wallet.
