Marketeer: Stories

Yevin had it all, and lost it. His wife left him. He fell into the bottle, and almost drowned in it. Now a friend pulls him up and dries him out. Can he get his life back together?

This is not much of a story, so much as a look at, and lampooning, of some of the writing practices that amuse and annoy me on this site. I'm sure I'm guilty of a few of them myself. Still, I'm sure you, the reader, will find at least some of it humorous. I try to be, at least.

Just how badly can a woman cheat on a man and get away with it? Can she figure out how to survive the marriage? Or is she just delusional?

A young and lonely flea marketeer saves a girl from a terrible rape. Her attempt to repay him lasts a lifetime.

An old man sees his life flash before his eyes. Perhaps thats a good thing.

He was a rockstar. And he hated it. He had to escape. And he did. But... uh, how do you live again?

A guy rigs up a switch for the backup beeper on his truck. If he knew what that would have done, he probably would have done it sooner.

This is the first of a series of stories that I am going to do based on various songs, mostly ones I suspect most readers have never heard.

Their marriages have been arranged, but not to each other. How will they cope?

She lived a life, too.
