Welcome to Tales By Tom. This is the seveth installment of Tom Cagley Sr's short story collections entitled, “Innocents All.”   

Story 12.  I’ve been in a hurry all my life …  It’s called impatience. I’ve used it as both an excuse and a cause célèbre. I’ve tried to get better over time ---leave things to God, give it up to the Lord, but it doesn’t always happen that way. Helps my blood pressure when I get that release, though. Now there is a pill for that, and I’m, on board.

Story 13.  Nostalgia --- We’re all guilty, I imagine, of dabbling in its rosy glow, staring into its “come hither eyes.” But you have to take care and remember where you stand today and not give in to the lure. It’s an illness and it is complicated, and there is a danger involved.

I encourage you to provide feedback on these stories or any of the earlier shorts by email at [email protected] or by voicemail at 1 206 339 5456      .
