“Canadian Dreams (Part 1)” by Michael Reeves

You MUST read “Passing By” and “Gray Valley” before reading this. It will give you much more context, and you will enjoy it more. Enjoy the book! “I had a brother. I had a friend. I had an ENEMY.” I said loudly. “My brother was named Kevin. My friend was named Jonas. My enemy was named Curtis.” “All of them are dead now, and they ain’t coming back. I, Ted, will avenge Jonas, and Kevin and I will give more reason to keep Curtis in hell.” “I have something to admit, my friends. I am not from Alberta. I am from Alabama, USA. I esc...

“Passing By” by Michael Reeves

Submitted to Contest #141

(Note: I am African American. Certain words get said in this story but do not repeat. There is language, death, and violence. There is physical violence, and never call someone Colored or Negro. Enjoy the story!) You are about to read the story of my life, and it is not my favorite story to tell. It took place in 1890. It has a start and a finish, neither of which is happy. I feel angst, wondering if it could have taken a safer turn as I mean this. My name is Ted, and my brother is named Kevin. We are African Americans, and everyone thou...
