A My Brother's Keeper Story
A short story of family interactions.

John wanted a "hot wife" and his wife was ice cold. A friend at work recommended a particular counselor who had done amazing things for the friend's wife. So John told her she was going to counseling. He said the counselor would explain everything, and that she was to do whatever the counselor told her to. It wasn't quite as cut and dried as John thought it would be. She got "hotter" but it took a lot of time, time she spent with the counselor. And that's who she got hot for.

Mel Austin didn't want to be just a farmhand for his brother, so after the Army and World War II, he attended college on the GI Bill.

In love with the thrills, action, and a chance to see the country, he spends several years vagabonding with the show through the turbulent and now half-forgotten world of the early 1950s.
