    About this ebook

    Copperheads and Cary is a brief tale that follows a wise-cracking old man on his predawn morning walk that's nothing like any he's stepped before.
    I’m in raggedy jeans that have holes in the right cuff. I’m a kid with no chain guard on his bike. My dark blue hoodie is too big for me. My ten-buck Walmart sport shoes aren’t much to look at but they’re light. I’m a frigging fitness anti-fashion plate!
    I am most grateful to The Writer’s Egg Magazine, (Jade Elvina Hinde, Editor, UK) previous publisher of “Copperheads and Cary” under the title “Copperheads.”11/30/2020
