A story in the Zack Masters, PI Universe
Zack is returning from the Vietnam War to follow in his dad's footsteps as a private investigator, and to see if his childhood sweetheart could be the true love of his life. His first case would prove to be a greater challenge than expected. This story was written as part of a challenge to honor the style of Mickey Spillane and his Hammer character. I'm no Mickey, for sure, but I hope my offering is enjoyable.

This is just a quick little love story. It’s a slightly expanded version of a writers challenge where a 1,000-word story had to include portions of lyrics from several different songs. That’s why certain scenes may seem a bit forced, like the bar room. This story has references to 5 songs. If you’re the type that enjoys this sort of thing, name as many as you can in the comments. Fair warning—several are quite obscure. Have fun!
Ben is destroyed by his wife's betrayal. While still trying to pull his life together, he meets a woman who has also suffered a horrendous past. Can these two broken people find love with each other?
