The Black Van

Sarah’s childhood is plagued with family tragedies, so when the love of her life appears, she radically changes her life. Years later, she realizes that for some people life is not all roses. Envious of her one and only friend, she daydreams, which results in her making the worst mistake in her life.Two events moved me to write this story. The first event occurred in the summer of 2011. That summer I was visiting the emergency room at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Medical Center (I had dropped a steel beam on my foot and wasn’t sure if I had broken anything, but that’s another story). While I was in the waiting room, a man came in and walked up to the reception counter, not 10 feet from where I sat. He pulled a pistol from the waistband of his shorts and pointed it at his head. A USAF staff sergeant had just come into the area behind the otherwise empty reception desk. He was shocked and tried to get the man to calm down. The man with the gun told the staff sergeant, “I have PTSD and can’t take it anymore.” Then the man with the gun pulled the trigger.Fortunately, I think self-preservation kicked in at the last second and his hand wavered. The bullet missed his head by a fraction of an inch, and he was eventually talked out of committing suicide. I found out later that this wasn’t some kid just back from Iraq or Afghanistan—this was a senior soldier whose demons still haunted him.I believe many Americans don't understand how prevalent injuries are among our returning warriors—both obvious injuries and ”hidden” injuries such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) —or how devastating both the obvious and hidden injuries can be.The second event that motivated me to write this story was a celebration we hold at the Dayton Dragons baseball field (Fifth Third Field). The Dragons are a Cincinnati Reds farm team, and the company I work for sponsors a pair of events, in coordination with the Dragons, to honor our military. During the game we welcome airmen returning from overseas, facilitate a video greeting from a deployed warrior to his family, and stand proud as a group of youngsters take their oath of enlistment. This, to me, is a very moving experience as the local community honors our heroes.I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you are like me, and you get choked up when you hear the National Anthem or watch Old Glory pass by in a parade, I think you’ll love it.I’m donating fifty percent of my revenue from this book to military-friendly charities. You can help me decide which charities to support. See how at the end of the book. I look forward to your input.Joe G.

A Blunder Worth Telling

Story of a young boy seeking love. Revolving around six college friends. How they met at college and an incident that changed their life. How a wrong decision led to a bad cause.A Blunder Worth Telling is a story of a young college boy seeking love, it revolves around the problems faced by youths in finding their one true love, the bond of friendship shared between them and their loyalty towards it. It is a story of six people from differnet parts of India meeting at a college and soon turning out to be bff’s. I am here to share my annoyance with you all. Youth! Filled with emotions and temptation towards attractive things. I am going to tell that a youth's life and their decisions are much more affected and inspired by what others think and not by their own mind, feelings and emotions. Most of the youths today are attracted and are running towards what majority likes from taking a degree to a girl. Sometimes they compromise their own feelings and thoughts just for the sake of others, who actually don’t care what they do. Should we really care about it? That's the biggest question here. And that’s the reason why I am writing.
