    On a sunny afternoon in the park, Catherine finds something strange lying in the bushes. It is a woman dressed in a white pantsuit covered in a translucent tarp. Who is she and why does she sleep in such a fashionable attire? The two discover as they eat ice cream, watch old musicals and hang out at bars after work.

      Dedication

      Much like my previous story, this was written in an experimental fashion. Where I outlined the progression of the story, I didn't actually place more than a few turning points. The rest was improvised during the first draft and featured great alteration from my initial intents of making a story about image and corporation, though both concepts are still present and mostly complimented by more relational concepts.

      My dedication this time is simple. It's for those that are eager to belong and use their creativity or gifts to change the world. While one story may not break the bank or alter history, it has the power to connect with someone you'll never meet and never know who'll read your story. It will serve as a change, if only for a moment. Return the favor and do something creative for someone, even if it likely won't come back to you in a grand form.

      *Author’s Note:

      The people and events depicted in A Meeting in the Bushes are fictitious. Any resemblance to reality is coincidental.

      BUT DAD NEVER LISTENED TO DANNY BROWN

      What a fantastic creation this book is. A young man who is starting to realize that his earlier years that were spent as a some times troubled some times care youth are over. It is time to make more mature decisions. A great example of today's social urban life styles. I did not want this short story to end. I wanted it to continue to explore this youth's new realizations and life in his new future.

      4/5 stars - rucrazy

      A very interesting read, well written. It sounds like a teaser for a novel; I would have liked it to continue through life...he gets a job, marries, lives his life, etc. Maybe there is more to come?

      4/5 stars - Sue Gross

      A PLAGIARIZED CHRISTMAS*

      Very interested with the beginning of a fresh new story & character. Somehow the author seems to have a dark & troubled side to his work.. I will continue to follow his publications to see if he can pull himself out of a funk..Overall it takes awhile to get into his stories but I do enjoy what I have read so far. - PART ONE

      3/5 stars - rucrazy
