I didn’t think anyone saw me when I left school last Friday, but someone must have spotted me besides Rat Face. The real name for Rat Face was Richard. Richard was on me like stink on dodo.

Denny’s Closet Chapter 1 By Jame Michaels She came right over, when I entered the office, and shook my hand. “Are you Dave?”, she asked with a nice smile. “Margie told us last Friday, the home office had hired a new person for the opening. “Yes, I’m Dave. And you are?” “I’m Denise, but everyone calls me Denny. I’ll be your sidekick for the first week or two to get you settled in and train you on Jeepers.” Two weeks?

Author bio

To paraphrase a line from a TV show in the 50s, "There are many stories in the Michaels city. These are the few that made it into print" I'm a U.S. Army, disabled veteran. A lot of my stories and point of view come from my time in the military. I am using Reedsy to float my story ideas to see which ones can get off the ground and resonate with my reader audience.
