9780991621217: Duck

Synopsis

When the ringing school bell signals an air raid drill at Hill Elementary, Thomas Lingonberry is the only student who follows protocol, climbing under his desk and curling into a ball to protect himself from the Red Menace. Everyone else races outside thinking it’s a fire drill. This wouldn’t have mattered at all, but for the fact that a Martin B-26 Marauder carrying two improperly-attached bombs was passing overhead at the very same time.

Duck is a novelette-sized coming-of-age story that recalls pivotal moments in Thomas Lingonberry’s life, beginning with the events of April 16, 1957 - the day he earned the nickname “Bomb Boy" - and continuing well into adulthood.

BONUS: "Duck" now includes seven additional short stories not available elsewhere.

Stephen Parolini is a full-time freelance editor and author who shares a small Colorado apartment with an ever-growing array of imagined characters, handcrafted daydreams, and the occasional misguided spider.
