In this collection of Flash Fiction you'll find three stories that focus each on a different subject. The first one is called Bioluminescent, the story of a biologist who finds his dead friend after a job gone wrong. The second one shows the struggle of a woman trying to accept the end of her marriage. And the last one gives us a glimpse of a love that should happen, but it didn't.In this collection of Flash Fiction you'll find three stories that focus each on a different subject, but all of them follow a single tone. They were all based on different moments of the author's life, which translate those feeling into stories that do not tell exactly what happened them, but explore the same feeling. The first story, Bioluminescent, tells the story of a biologist who found his former partner's body at the end of a cave. He decides to read his partner's diary and so we witness the man's last moments inside the cave. The second story, The End Table, explores the idea of wasted life. A woman who now faces the truth about her failed marriage daydreams about her mistakes and what lead her to this sad situation. The third and final story, Cigarettes and Random Melodies, takes a moment that summaries an entire relationship that never happened. All the interactions that could be something but are not, and by the end, it doesn't really matter. Views: 507

One of the classic baseball stories, You Know Me Al, first published in 1914, tells the story of the fictional Jack Keefe, a bush league baseball player who earns a trip to the majors to pitch for the Chicago White Sox. Set in pre–World War I, the book is comprised of letters that Keefe sends to his “old pal” Al. Through the letters, the self-centered Keefe reveals his regular struggles to maintain his position in the big leagues as well as his personal life and juggle his financial difficulties. Nevertheless, the tales from on and off the field as he travels with the team are full of wit, insight, and entertainment. They include Keefe’s encounters with baseball legends such as Ty Cobb, Charles Comiskey, Walter Johnson, and Eddie Cicotte.
In this edition of the book, which includes a foreword by acclaimed writer John Thorn, readers can relive all of the glory of this historic era of baseball through the eyes of one of Ring Lardner’s most comical characters, a century after his creation!
