A Baker's Dozen: Thirteen Short Stories

A collection of thirteen short stories written over the past few years as the spirit moved him, by author Gene Masters. An idea might come at an odd time, stew in his mind for a while, and he would have to set it down on paper. It would not be nearly enough for a novel, but would be an interesting story anyway - at least to the author. He would come back to it later, revise, add, subtract. One can easily tell from the mix of subjects, and the eclectic subject matter, that Gene's mind works in strange ways. There's his history - decades old history, now - in diesel-electric submarines, coupled with his fascination with all things military. These are contrasted with his conviction that war, however apparently valid the cause, is the ultimate expression of mankind's utter stupidity.Where the rest of these stories came from Masters cannot say: a man sentenced to crucifixion for a minor offense, a person who cannot quite glimpse the ghosts pursuing him, a mob hit gone sour, some social commentary, and some other weird happenings.These are thirteen stories that he considers his most interesting. He does so hope you agree.
