was free on Amazon. This is one of the many reasons I love twitter. Thankfully, I follow Mr. Patterson.19 tells the story of a family who is cursed with predictions of death. Aaron Patterson provided this information in the product description:
This is based on a true story and because of the facts and how hard to believe they seem I turned this into a fiction short story. I added in some back-story that is all made up but the main plot happened to friends of mine. This is a thriller drama, medical and all about a family that is cursed with death, and all because of a rose.
If you want something different and a little off the path, give "19" a try. And think twice the next time you stop and smell the roses.
I am such a fan of short works, and 19 was a great short story. It reminded me of a story my 8th grade English teacher told me after being off for funeral leave. Her brother-in-law had died on a road that several men in her husband's family had died on. He had a heart attack. His brother and his father also died on that road. Her husband was still living. If I were her I would never let him near that town again!
Whether Patterson's 19 is a true story or not, I will add it to the list of tales I love to tell around the campfire (and during Earth Hour where everyone turns their lights out for an hour. I can't purposefully turn out all the lights without breaking out the ghost stories.)
If you love sitting down and getting a complete tale in one sitting, 19 is a great short story to grab.
