The Fruit Bowl

Haley was a good dancer, but more importantly she had gone to business school and knew how the world worked.

When the IRS and ABC tried to shut down The Fruit Bowl, Haley offered to use her cognitive skills to save the business, instead of her basic assets.

Nobody knew the deal she made with Doug on this account, but most people presumed his balls were in a container under her care.

Nobody knew the deal she made with the authorities either, but The Fruit Bowl remained opened for business.

Who I Did…

And as Tony Benitoni reflected on his summer, the one creative thought of his entire life popped into his head, and he realized the title of his essay would be: Who I Did On My Summer Vacation. Very little of his story was embellished… KVB.

Sam I Am

The whole human condition is about sex, money, and power, or some derivative of the three; to deny any of them is just to be enslaved more so by the others.

These were Sam’s thoughts as he entered the elevator with his colleagues…

From the Baker project piece Sam I Am.

Irish

Label
Harris pulled two airplane bottles of Baileys out of his pocket and emptied them into their Starbucks coffees.

He put the lids back on the cups and swirled them around.

“I like my coffee, like my women,” he explained to her with a small smile.

“With a little bit of Irish in them.”

As she took her first sip, she contemplated her pedigree.

-From an unreleased chapter of Florida East Coast.
