A Collection of Four Unusual Stories

The four stories in this collection really are unusual. All four vary, but they do have some things in common. If you like action, suspense, intrigue, and aren't afraid to have your beliefs about the physical universe challenged, you'll enjoy them all. In Deadly Descent: A Mountain Biking Mystery, Jeff and Mark have been friends since grade school and share a passion for adventure, mostly through mountain biking. They decide to pursue a mysterious, uncharted trail they heard about from a fellow biker, which takes them from Tampa to rural Virginia. Finding the elusive trail is tough enough, but what they run into on that remote mountain trail is shocking and life altering. Hold onto your handlebars, you're in for a rough ride! David and Jean is about Brent, a dentist, who generously donates some used but good-quality dental equipment to a local free clinic. He's helped in the installation process by George, a local handyman. George's young son, David, has a very unusual dental problem, which he convinces Brent to take a look at in his family home. Brent examines David and is totally flummoxed by what he sees in the little boy's mouth, as well as what he experiences the moment he sets foot in that house. It's nothing he's ever seen, read about, or confronted in his years of study or practice. This condition poses an existential threat to David, so ignoring it is not an option! Leap and Tree is about a retired couple, Prescott and Marjorie, who live in a small Indiana town. Their home and lives are totally upended when Leap and Tree decide to break in and stay there, undetected. When Marjorie stumbles upon them, one sleepless night, the ensuing shock leaves her shaken and disabled. Prescott is now faced with caring for his stricken wife and making sure that the two who caused this are held accountable. The Talmo Nine is a story about a minor league baseball team, the Snappers, whose old team bus overheats on the way to a game in Rome, Georgia. They're forced to stop in the small town of Talmo for repairs and in the hopes of making their game on time. While that's going on, the players find an abandoned baseball field next to an old railway depot that's now a museum. They decide to practice on the old field and are surprised when the ragtag local team shows up unexpectedly and challenges them to a game--play ball!
