Short Preview Stories Bob is a little guy only
5'6" and 140 pounds, but he loves to fight and the dirtier the better.
He works out at a boxing gym in a sleazy part of town. It is a small gym
frequented mostly by hispanics, some blacks and 3 or 4 anglos. The
action in the ring is unusually rough partly because the "ref" doesn't
care but mainly because the fighters like that way. Some of the fighters
revel in using low blows against another boxer and winning fights with
them. (more inside) I had been looking
forward to the conference for some time. I was doing some classified
work for the Army and this was my chance to get together with other
contractors to discuss the overall project. The conference was also
being held at one of favorite places; an unusual military installation
near the ocean. It wasn't a large base and there were seldom more than
40 - 50 people on base at any one time. (more inside) It was a dark and stormy
night. Ok, ok, I know, but it was a dark and stormy night. It was
snowing quite hard but there was little wind, so I wasnt really
surprised when the phone rang and it was Tom. He said only one thing,
"Tonight?". My reply was "Yes." (more inside) Dave was new to the
entire scene. He was only a freshman in college and scared that his
buddies on the swim team would find out that he was gay. But the desires
were too strong for his inhibitions to keep him from going to the bar.
He had taken a year off between high school and college and so her was
nineteen years old as a freshman, and he was Chinese-American. (more
