The Survivor

Although filled with dark humour, I have posted a more serious piece this week in honour of Yom HaShoah.   The episodes in the story are based very loosely on some of my father's experiences in the Holocaust.  Many of the episodes in this story show up again in a movie script I wrote titled Max the Butcher.  The script will be posted at a later date.  

Once again, I use a shifting perspective to tell the story.  This time the prospective changes from first person  Holocaust incidences to a pre-war, third person history of young boy.  I am purposely vague as to whether the two characters are in fact the same person.  

As always, I welcome comments that never seem to arrive.

The Lunar Mission

Another short one.  This is a companion piece to Waiting for Superman.  I'm still waiting for some comments.
