by Ed Fair

Overview

In THE UNLIKELY TWINS AND MORE STORIES, you'll meet a cast of most intriguing individuals, including:

LUCKY - He had been lucky all of his life, at least so he thought...until he got hit with something so devastating that he simply could not grasp it.

THE UNLIKELY TWINS - The fraternal twins had nothing in common... except for one disturbing and dangerous vice in which they were destructively in sync.

THE DAMAGED PROFESSOR - He was a strange character with an eye patch and a ragged face who liked to pontificate to the kids in the park... but horrible rumors swirled around him and his past.

What bizarre and unforeseen events will these and the other characters in this collection encounter? What awaits them around every dark and mysterious corner?

Buckle in and enjoy the journey through these ten short stories and one poem, each full of unexpected twists and turns and surprise endings reminiscent of O. Henry yet written in a modern style and tone.
