  Too Long Awake - A Short Horror...

  It took me less than ten minutes to see that something was wrong. Honestly, I think if it hadn't been for all the tears and the emotion of the occasion I probably would have figured it out quicker. It had always been like that with me and Donny. We used to joke about it sometimes. I‘d ask if he was okay and he’d say he was ‘fine,’ to which I’d always respond, “Well you should probably tell your frown.” Donny could never keep a secret. Even from his own face.As it was, the shock and the joy of Donny coming home, of him actually, really, physically being home turned my spider sense for his feelings off for a while. Still, even then, it didn't take me long.We had been sitting, my mom, my dad, and me at Angie’s, a diner in town that had always been my mom’s favorite and had literally been open since she was a kid. We had tried to convince her to go to a fancy restaurant for her birthday, to maybe take a vacation and spend a few days in some little getaway far from town, but she wouldn’t hear of it. She liked to keep things simple. She liked Angie’s and she liked home. All she really wanted for her birthday was ‘a quiet meal with her family around her.’

  In the last column of a job application, there’s that tricky question: reason for leaving? John Manderino has apparently had to puzzle over that one often and long. His answers are collected here in this hilarious novel-in-stories tracing the history of a guy trying to grow up job by job. Delivery boy, altar boy, busboy, teacher, cotton picker, umpire, Zen monk—Manderino’s protagonist tries on one hat after another, from Chicago to Arizona to a South Dakota reservation where he longs to be given an Indian name, "something like Many Roads, or Many Jobs." Each story in this highly entertaining collection is complete in itself, yet Manderino has woven them into a seamless history that’s hard to put down. The author of Sam and His Brother Len and The Man Who Once Played Catch with Nellie Fox has once again given us a funny, moving portrait of a man’s journey of becoming. Becoming what? The answer lies behind all his reasons for leaving. John Manderino has a sharp eye for human foibles and his depictions of life in the workaday world will leave readers laughing long and loud.

  The Battle of Life

  Charles Dickens

  The Battle of Life: A Love Story is a novella by Charles Dickens, 1st published in 1846. It's the 4th of his five "Christmas Books", coming after The Cricket on the Hearth, followed by The Haunted Man & the Ghost's Bargain.The setting is an English village that stands on the site of a historic battle. Some characters refer to the battle as a metaphor for the struggles of life, hence the title.Battle is the only one of the five Christmas Books that has no supernatural or explicitly religious elements. (One scene takes place at Christmas time, but it isn't the final scene.) The story bears some resemblance to The Cricket on the Hearth in two aspects: it has a non-urban setting & it's resolved with a romantic twist. It's even less of a social novel than is Cricket. As is typical with Dickens, the ending is a happy one.It's one of Dickens' lesser-known works & has never attained any high level of popularity, a trait it shares among the Christmas Books with The Haunted Man.
