MOMMA’S GOOD SILVER

by Philip Mitchell

---

A little taster…

Momma had a lot of silver. Rings and necklaces and hanging ear loops. And we’d all seen Gramps make the bullets using sand molds and an arc furnace. Daddy said he thought we’d get maybe a dozen and a half bullets, maybe even north of twenty if we were stingy. In the end we both decided to stay with what we knew worked.

For a week we walked the perimeter the new way, with me on the edge with both pistols, and Daddy up on the roof. He bagged his first wolfman from up there.

About the author

Philip Mitchell lives in Connecticut, USA with his wife, four children, a lazy Corgi and a domineering cat. This is his first published work. When not writing (or reading) trashy tales, he feeds his tribe of people and livestock by cooking up media strategies for a list of Fortune 500 clients. Fun-time is spent attending various school games, plays, concerts and sporting events cheering on the aforementioned quartet of talented children. As ever, he is at work on his blockbuster debut novel.
