Great Stories from the Mountain: 8 Expansive Short Stories

THE IRISHMAN CIAN MACGERRITY

In 1805, tyranny, eviction and murder

drive an Irish tenant farmer to vengeance.

Surely, his deed will deliver him to the gallows -

and to the end of his troubles, or so he thinks.

THE CRASH

One abrasive Berkeley lawyer,

one demanding smartphone

and a dangerous way of driving

meet the very long view of life.

HERE IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE

An almost-priest,

a beautiful, angry woman and

an invisible chateau - revealed by the light on a river,

deep in the south of France.

CONTINUITY

A city's greatest hero

passes a torch of consecrated power,

strengthening a new generation

and burning an old elite.

A FORTUNATE MAN

In 101 BC, in a forgotten battle against pirates,

a mere moment in the war of aeons between

the sons of light and the sons of darkness,

death yields once more to life.

THE MAN ON THE MOUNTAIN

A spectacular mountain in Oregon,

The Lightning Rod of the Cascades,

hammers the unprepared but permits a stunning

preview of the Promised Land.

OUR LADY

America's most effective

and competent president in over 150 years

stands with a freed people to applaud the nation's

greatest First Lady - ever.

MANDATE OF HEAVEN

China, on the edge of self-inflicted catastrophe,

hurls the right to rebellion against the right to rule.

Who would dare oppose the onslaught, unarmed,

on behalf of the people?
