Hi, thank you for visiting my list of stories. You'll find a bunch more of my "tales of woe" under my other by-line Denham Forrest.
For those of you who are unaware, I'm an M.E. sufferer who writes to stop myself from going completely bunkers. Some say, that I've gone "stark raving mad," but who gives a monkeys uncle?
Anyway, read and hopefully enjoy. But don't take anything you read here too seriously, I know I don't!
Whether you like what you read or not, please don't forget to vote. And, I do appreciate it when readers drop me the odd line to let me know their... er, reactions, to my demented diatribes. Breaks the old monotony a little as well!
Our hero has to take a rare business trip to a distant part of the country. At the insistence of some old school friends who live in the town he's visiting, he stays with them. Whilst staying with them he gets an unexpected surprise and his life starts to unravel.
When just about everything in your life has gone to pot. It isn't that easy to accept that your luck has changed completely and good things are falling into your lap. Especially when a tubby old man, with white hair, a beard and a smile on his face is involved.
Alternative title - For The Good times. Life throws another curve ball at a divorced man, who has taken his brother's children in after he and his wife were killed in an accident. There's no sex on this story.
