  Can a modern-day hero defeat addiction? 
  Some people are born with seemingly limitless talent, be it in their intellectual capacities, athletic prowess, artistic abilities, or personal aplomb. Roland Hazzard is one of those rare individuals. Nothing should stand in his way.  
  Yet he suffers from one glaring deficiency—he can't control and enjoy alcohol. His addiction threatens to destroy the promise of his many gifts.  
  Now fate throws Roland an opportunity that could change everything. A notorious serial killer is stalking a woman in his building and breaks into Roland's apartment by mistake. Roland's slaying of the monster makes him an instant celebrity and he cultivates an outrageous vigilante persona that, on the one hand, scorns the traditional news media and, on the other, spawns a huge internet following.  
  His fame attracts more violence, and the violence more attention, until Roland is in constant demand and making a lot of easy money.  
   Roland's drunken behavior eventually gets him into serious trouble, and a secret crime from his past comes to light. 
  Will he overcome his self-destructive nature?

  Prison Life - A Short Story...

  For almost all of us the idea of being locked away in prison is a dreadful thought to consider.  To be in that position, to get put away, for whatever reasons, for whatever pain or injury that was caused, whatever law was broken, the probability of years in a small, cramped space holds no appeal to anyone of reason and is almost always an absolute deterrent. 
   
  Whilst some of the characters in these stories deserve prison, others are the victims of a mis-carriage.  Our authors including Victor Hugo, Franz Kafka, William Mudford and Vincente Blasco Ibanez explore life inside, and how many of the flawed characters of their stories cope with the undoubted stresses and deprivations that their lives now cause them.  It is a harsh world in microcosm.
