Warwork is about war work; A Knight Came Riding is about a young married woman when reality impinges on her dreams; The Hunt Club is about some deer hunters and a girl gone wrong...or someplace; The Magic Elephant is about a guy who likes elephants; The Sign is about a hopeless romantic and his near collision with reality; Whorehouse Phil is about an ex-Marine's adjustment to civilian life; A Gathering of Horsemen is about two guys who go in the bar business; The Man Who Played With Dolls is about how a character gets lucky; A Plagimus on Sunday is about an evil bird...or maybe just a bird; Travel, Adventure, and Pay is about a rifle platoon in combat; Friday, Xanadu is about an old man telling a tale of two mercenaries in Asia, which may or may not be true. Or maybe it's about a Veterans Hospital. Read em and weep!

If these stories have a common theme, it is that the principal characters have been touched in some way by the experience of war.
