It is remarkable how epublishing resurrects stories. Tales one would otherwise never have seen or touched become accessible at the tick of a button. 'War of the Roses' is short, clever, reserved with words, humorous even. Blissfully bopping to a song on the radio, the narrator is thrust at a scene of an accident, and feels powerless, almost silly as a result. The garbling blood-soaked victim does not ease the situation. A malicious rivalry unfolds. Looking for a light mystery with a dollop of humour? A sample of Stephen D. Rogers' wit? Here's your anecdote. -Eugen Bacon, Fictionwise Recommender
Tapping my steering wheel to the song on the radio, I suddenly found myself tailgating the van in front of me. Before slowing down, I read the signs "How am I driving?" followed by a telephone number and "This vehicle makes frequent and unusual stops." I wondered for a moment how many people actually called to report bad driving, and how often it was justified. Then, as if to illustrate an unusual stop, the van swung off the road and smashed into a tree.
