The following four (4) short stories are the last of my “LongTALES for ShortTAILS” collection of seven (7) stories involving stories concocted from family members and personal characters I experienced in my growth experience while moving into adulthood and marriage. I am so proud to say I grew up in Compton, California and had one of the richest childhoods one could ever imagine. My greatest asset was to remember in my mind many childhood experiences; expand and explore these experiences; lock them in the back of my memory; and, finally, to expose them to the rest of the world. Following is the exposing. I just hope you like my stories – but more importantly – can relate to them. This fourth and final addition of my “LongTALES for ShortTAILS” short-story collection is dedicated to my first grandson, Lance Giovanni Filer. “Lil Gio” could easily be many of the kid characters mentioned in the following stories. Enjoy!
