But Ossipher

But Ossipher is a collection of thirteen flash fiction (micro-stories). Stories I wrote at the request of friends who sent the pictures as inspiration.I think you will find But Ossipher a quick, easy read, with some humor, and a few surprises.Reviews, good and bad, are always appreciated.Enjoy! Two people sparked my interest in reading in secondary school, high school for Americans, a close friend and an instructor.The instructor took an interest in a boy he later called 'The rebel without a clue.' He was instrumental in learning the value of an enjoyable book.The instructor required me to read exciting historical novels for academic credit. Frank Norris, Leon Uris, and Ken Follett inspire and fuel my love of history. My lifelong friend encouraged me to read J. R. R. Tolkien, and I became addicted to fantasy.I was born to a military family. Following the military tradition was logical. However, after four years of "yes sirs" and scraping the wax off floors, I decided there must be more fun in a corporate career.After forty-plus years of work experience across the globe, I landed in Colorado.
