Bats, Rats, & Alley Cats

Sam wants to spend his life with his exotic tropical plants despite his insufferable wife. In another story, Ryan asks his grandpa a lot of the usual questions and gets some rather extraordinary explanations. In the future, there is a problem with rats in the attic and two inept electronic butlers. In another time and place, an emergency room physician has an encounter with a very unusual patient. A man has a new pair of self-repairing shoes that do not know when to stop. A hard-working moving man needs to capture one fearful pet cat or he’ll never get to that office job downtown. These are just a few suppositions from twenty short stories, ranging from the mildly plausible to the exceptionally unlikely. These tales are intended for teenagers and young adults through their eighties. If you are over eighty, you just might enjoy a few of these stories too.
