Book Cover & Preview Text
Mr. and Mrs. Sagan were having an
argument about a dent that mysteriously showed up on one of the finders. The
argument turned into the loudest one to date since David could remember. After
David’s mother went upstairs to her sewing room and his father went down to the
kitchen to have a beer, David questioned his father. “Dad, you and mom aren’t
getting a divorce are you?” David’s father laughed a little.
“No son. We’re the perfect nut and bolt.”
“What do ya mean, nut and bolt?”
“Well, it’s like this.” David’s father, usually working on
the car, lawn mower, boat motor, trailer, etc., always had nuts, bolts,
washers, screws, grommets, or pieces of wire in his pockets. After fishing for
a moment, past change, a lighter, and his keys, he pulled out an eight inch
machine threaded nut and bolt already screwed together.

About the Book
A child discovers a deity in Godzilla. After being involved
in a horrific family tragedy, a teenage girl avoids suicide by taking long
walks with her little brother. A young Marine goes to war with his identity. A
teacher with bouts of depression suspects cheating from a talented adolescent
whose hormones cripple his ability to prove his innocence. A sixteen year old
goes on an acid trip and unknowingly sets a farmers field on fire that
threatens a neighbor‘s home on the other side.
Like a student taking a pop quiz on a subject he never
received a handout for, these characters and others in the six stories that
make up this book, find themselves faking the answers to a life they came
unprepared for.
