Welcome to Tales By Tom. This is the seventh and final installment of Tom Cagley Sr's short story collections entitled, “Long Long Ago and Far Away.”   

Story 12. I can’t come to work today because…  How many excuses are there? As many as there are people, I guess. Imaginations do tend to run wild ---I’ve heard a few. Any wild ones I haven’t added in here?

And finally, to wrap things up we have an epilogue! 

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.

The music is a song titled "Rhapsody" by Andy Guthrie and was supplied Music Alley from Mevio (www.musicalley.com).

See you in two weeks with a new series!
