Fables and Foibles, Volume I: Stories to Stretch Your Mind

By John W Carpita

In this anthology, you'll find stories of people walking in and out of paintings, or trapped in puzzles and mirrors, and of lovers trapped in time. At other times, I find it difficult to repress my sense of humor and write about Prince Charmin as a frog and Zeus as an innkeeper in Port Angeles Washington. Then there are spy and detective stories and other stories written simply to explore new techniques and styles. There is truly something for all tastes in this collection. You'll also find a real person. I've included stories about life in a small town in Beaverhead County in the 1950s and of working on my grandfather's cattle ranch. Also, about high school life in the 1960s and of finding my true love - and being with her for almost 55 years. Nearly all the 55+ stories in this diverse anthology have been shared with and vetted by our Tuesday Morning Writing Fellowship--a varied group of retired engineers, clinicians, nurses, accountants, businessmen, and public media experts--who have transformed into an incredibly supportive community of skilled writers.
