Is This The Fun Part?, is an anthology of seven short stories dealing with life and the many unexpected and often life altering events that seem to happen all too frequently. The title is tongue-in-cheek, in that life can frequently be less than fun. These stories portray many of these unfunny scenarios; adultery, betrayal, murder, isolation and obsession, with a few supernatural and science fiction twists just for fun. How will the discovery of an often life changing secret affect an unsuspecting young man? How will it change his life going forward? What will it take for a model son to come to grips with his own identity? Can he withstand the rigors of military service while repressing who he really is? How far can a stepmother push her stepson before he strikes back? Will a lifetime of being odd man out be the impetus for tragedy? Can an antique mirror hold the secret to happiness for a wealthy, reclusive, compulsive 'junk' collector? How will advice from total strangers, and his departed mother, from within the mirror send love his way? Can an aging, heartbroken, ailing polio victim find healing from a very unlikely source? Can a lifetime of self imposed isolation after physical impairment, tragic loss and personal disappointment end on a high note? Could an unseen alien presence use one of the most warped of human minds to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting world? Could superstition be the cause of one’s demise? Can belief make it so?
