Description
xA collection of short stories by Gary W. Priester The stories are quirky and range from chimes, to crimes, to the good old times
.
In the title story "The Chimes of Westminster," Sid inherits a chiming antique mantle clock from his great aunt Florence. But does the clock possess a mind of its own? During his research, Sid discovers the clock's unusual history. "Death" ponders the deaths we encounter in life. Our hero goes out kicking and screaming. But not before he reveals his intimate acquaintance with the phrase, "kicking the bucket." Samantha is besotted with computer nerd, next door neighbor, and fellow student, Willy. But what does Sam have to do to tear Willy away from his computer long enough for Willy to notice her? "Computer Crimes of the Heart" reveals Samantha's inner hacker. "Karma, Again." What goes 'round comes 'round and just might kick you in the butt. Will the crooked Cowboy Congressman get reelected? And does karma only affect those who believe in it? Jake and Ethyl are very unusual travel agents: they hate to travel. But this does not prevent Fly-By-Night Travel from becoming a travel industry leader. Together with grandson Marty, they invent some very unusual and entertaining tour packages, including The Booze Cruise, the Lost at Sea Lifeboat Tours, and their tour de force, "Tours to the Trouble Spots of the World," where the tourists wear vests with large targets and nasty taunts like: What a crappy country this is! And: Take your best shot! This might be the last tour you will ever take.
