Cool Stories Mark Loper

Cool Stories is a collection of 21 short stories that resonate with humor, pathos, and a little bit of adventurous sex. Some are true, some are allegorical, and some are absurd (okay, all of them are absurd). And several even offer innovative, real-world solutions for challenging problems like old folks living too long, the homeless living without dental insurance, and the widespread racism in our crosswalks. In these stories you'll find bigotry, sexism, and a kindly Nazi dentist. You'll read about greed, paranoia, and the futility of eating the Tin Man's heart. And you'll meet heroes who fight for acceptance, search for love, and one who's even done great things for hamsters. Cool Stories has a cool story for everyone.
