Synopsis

If a gun could talk, what stories would it tell?Would it whisper about justice—or vengeance? Would it remember the trembling hands that held it, the shouts, the silence after the smoke cleared?I never meant to be a storyteller. I was made for purpose, not poetry. But after all I’ve seen, silence feels like complicity. I’ve been passed from hand to hand, from soldier to father, from criminal to child. Each one thought they owned me, but I owned a piece of them instead—their fear, their fury, their fate.This is my confession. My chronicle of the human condition, written in metal and blood. You call it history. I call it memory. And it’s heavier than you think.If you’ve ever wondered what violence costs—or what it means to be the instrument of it—then you already know me. I am the echo you can’t forget.

Shivering in the Stirrups Before...

JC Cummings

Warning: Explicit Content. "Nonstop Embarrassment at the Phony Free Clinic" Series. "The clinic is free…but the price is too high!" So says every woman unfortunate enough to be treated at the “Care One Free Clinic.” In exchange for “free” medical care, these poor women, young and old, pay dearly by enduring spartan conditions, low-end everything, and a lack of privacy that’s downright appalling. 
 
Worse, although there is an experienced M.D. running the joint, a certain Dr. Jesse Langford, nearly all of the “free care” offered here is conducted by three horny young college men, including his lonely, touch-starved son, Byron. All are nothing but first-year pre-med students—woefully unqualified to be ordering shivering women out of their clothes and into a plethora of humiliating procedures. What these poor women must endure in order to save money is appalling—all so four dirty young men can have the thrill of their lives. It’s disgraceful, disturbing, and disgusting…which, according to these guys, is a very good thing! 
 
In this tale of disgraceful injustice, college freshman Brooke Bennet needs a complete physical before she can join the university gymnastics team. Sadly, her mom recently lost her job, so their only option is the CareOne Free Clinic. 
 
If public medical humiliation for unsuspecting and submissive female patients is your cup of tea, this story is for you! Get your copy today and discover how much fun a young man can have when “playing doctor” is taken to unbelievable new heights!

As a result, he believes himself to be superior to everyone else and becomes vain, arrogant and cruel. When his real mother, a beggar woman, comes to the village where he lives, he wants nothing to do with her and mocks her for her ugliness. As punishment for his cruelty, he becomes monstrously ugly himself. He remains so until he shows kindness to others, even at the risk of his own life.
