"An Elaborate and Fantastic Golf Swing" follows a golfer as he confronts not only his on-course rivals but also the demons from his past that manifest in his unique swing. As he competes in a tournament, he grapples with these shadows that haunt his every stroke.
"The Chapel Bells" is set in a snowbound town in West Texas, where a solitary traveler encounters a captivating waitress with a fondness for Christmas. They find solace in their shared appreciation of the season, until the ominous toll of chapel bells heralds a chilling crime spree.
Lastly, "Dino" immerses readers in the charged atmosphere of a college football game in Oxford, Mississippi, where two friends unearth startling truths.
