Seven Songs and Seven Stories

By M.L. Sund

A collection of short stories and song lyrics that explores temptation, regret and redemption of unassuming heroes across the American Heartland. ML Sund's first collection of short stories and poems (in the form of song lyrics) showcases the breadth and depth of his imagination. Here we see a rogue husband on a regrettable road trip in Mississippi ("Time to Run"); a retiring welder who debuts as an opera singer ("Welder Operatic"); a mentally ill teen lured into a sex party on Christmas Eve ("Edward's Doors"); a freshman at Penn State who runs into her childhood friend who's brothers killed her brother ("Our House"); a blind, young Japanese-American lady who discovers the truth about what caused her blindness ("Jin's Bridge," the basis for a feature screenplay); a young man who's twisted lifestyle is based on a mathematical formula ("Do The F-ing Math"); and a high school English teacher who is seduced by a student with deadly consequences; and seven songs that transport us to intimate settings in New York City, Arizona, California, Vietnam, and to dark and secret places.
