No Where To Go …and nothing else to read might be an acceptable reason for spending a few minutes with this book.  I read both stories in the waiting room while my wife met with her doctor.  Of course, neither story is very long.  You may enjoy these stories, if you like to wander about the country making mountains of mystery out of molehill events.  It served my purpose at the doctor’s office, but I’m glad it was not a full-length book.  I doubt that I could spend that much time with the tedium of Haywood’s first-person narration.  He is the master of loquacious circumlocution.  I kept thinking, “Okay, get on with the story.”To his credit – and to my surprise, considering the typical fare on Kindle books – I found no unintentional grammatical errors until near the end of the second story.  There he had the narrator use “Joe and I” as the object of the verb “cost.”  When in doubt about which to use, drop the first two words (Joe and), then ask if it’s all right to say “it cost I”?  No.  Using the verb in this way requires the objective case “me.”I downloaded the book while it was free, and I enjoyed it enough to say I really received my money’s worth.
