A Bit of Comeuppance

By: Francie Lucas

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Inspired by vintage Film Noir and Alfred Hitchcock, enjoy this eclectic collection of short stories regarding clumsy attempts at retribution or retaliation, also known as a bit of comeuppance. Come on, everybody has that urge now and then. BTW: resemblance of these characters to ANY colleagues of friends (past or present) is PURELY coincidental! (No, really!). Stories include: OFF THE BEATEN PATH: A bickering couple and a robbery that goes from bad to worse . . . to unexpected. LIVING DOLL(Badgers and Colors): A little girl, a doll who looks like her and people who don’t seem to notice the difference. DOG GONE IT: A dog, a dead ringer and a faulty plot KNITTING THE OLD DAYS: A stark lesson of love and forbidden family history at a funeral. ORIGINAL SIN: When Eve tried to make her man an apple pie, all Hell broke loose. Plus others. Film Noir: a style of movie or TV show (often vintage) marked by a mood of pessimism, fatalism and menace.
