Short description

Many of us live with a love/hate relationship with household cleanliness. Most people prefer to live with a modicum of orderliness, but considerably fewer look forward to the activities that make that possible. It is for this majority that this story was written. Here we see the full spectrum of household maintenance explored, and in ways that will astound you. And a surprise ending to boot.

Extended description

“Louis Cabrillo was a world class slob and proud of it.” So begins our tale. Louis, for reasons of his own, was dedicated to living in his own brand of squalor. He was, that is, until The Black Bag Gang intruded. They turned his whole world on end, and he saw no way out. At first.
As the story evolves, and the war escalates, we wonder if Louis will prevail? The Black Bag Gang? Neither? Both? And in any event, how will it all come to pass.
Oh yes, it is a lot of fun to read, too. Enjoy!

An original, wickedly funny short story which is amusing without descending into parody, and makes its points with style and subtle humor.

Well, that was different. Delightfully so, I might add. A chuckle a day keeps the doctor away, or something like that.
