Three short stories, totally different subject matter. First: Creature in God's Kingdom- A tale of murder, drug dealing, assassinations, cartels, terrorists, and even some courtroom drama(What more could you want in a short story?). Second: Life Penalty- A man either on the brink of madness or condemned to some type of hell jumps from life to life in perpetuity…seemingly with no escape. Finally: Part-time Fundamentalists- A short story intertwining the lives of three polar opposites; a right-wing cop, a Jewish shrink, and a muslim firefighter.
