Prairie Dogs

A man helps his friend flee when he is accused of murder. (Fiction) 2000words.
The short-story Prairie Dogs was first published by the UK web publisher East of Web. It received a five star rating and was compared, by several, to the work of great American author John Steinbeck.

"The story left me with a feeling that I was riding in the other side of the same coach as Bill and his friend. The expressions that fleeted across Bill's drew me like a magnet. This is a gripping story.'

"What a warmly affective little tale!...reminiscent of John Steinbeck...

"I want to hear this Voice again, perhaps making its own Canadian contribution to that wonderful canon of work: the great 'road' stories of the New World."

"This was a wonderful short story! Plus, the story is a terrific tool for teaching symbolism, stereotype, characterization, conflict, and most especially inference. Inference is can be a very difficult thing to "get across" to students and Colin makes that entirely possible with "Prairie Dogs." I give this short story an A++!!! Thank you for your talent, I enjoyed it thoroughly! Sincerely Yours, An appreciative teacher of 8th grade Media Literacy."
