Not Any Little Girl by Trent Zelazny
I love this, as it didn't go anywhere near where I expected it to go. It was a nasty, brutal little screenplay that I have thought about getting produced for my local theatre group.

Found Money
by Trent Zelazny (Goodreads Author)
There is a real lightness with this funny little piece by Zelazny. The story revolves around Nick and the find of $3,000 in an envelope and the question of what to do with the cash when you really need that kind of money.
Soon enough we get villains w...more

“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.”

“The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.”
Ted Hughes, Letters of Ted Hughes
