  • Hallelujah Henry

    -Barbershop Tales- Chapter 2 Floyd had just finished locking up when he heard tapping on the door. “Hold on,” he yelled.

    The Man Upstairs A Fictional Series JACK ROGERS, UNIT 104 I’ve been at Fourth and Main for a year and a half now. I love living here because it’s so close to the college. Plus my parents are paying the rent, so… hey… I can’t complain.  It’s not a bad place, really. It just needs…
