Dad Ran A Fowl Run - “Dad kept fowls once and I’ll never forget it.” Aveling’s dad has ambitions to get rich off of raising a small army of hens and roosters but things turn crooked for Aveling and his dad’s big plans.
The Shell - “Everywhere great columns of white spray rose as if in slow motion...” Two travellers realise the terrible beauty of the ocean and the harrowing consequences for those who look away.
The Fish Scales - ”He was five feet long! King of all snappers...” A tale of struggle much like that of Ahab, that captures a light-hearted battle between man and nature.
