The Candy Man

by Richard Alan

The fact that his life was at a crossroads prompted the brutal self-examination. The conclusion was not a surprise; his life sucked. William Perkins was twenty-seven years old when he came to the sobering realization that he was a full-fledged nerd who had spent his entire life in academic isolation. His ivory tower sanctuary had protected him from all the bad things in the world; the ups and downs; the threats and uncertainties; even sex. Ironically those were the very things he desperately wished to experience, and he knew they would never happen unless he broke free from his sanctuary. He decided to charge head first into the real world. No matter what happened it would be better than unending sameness. William Perkins longed for some sparkle in his life. On a magical summer day he got his wish. The Candy Man is a tale of avarice and evil, with just a touch of the supernatural. It gives a whole new meaning to the term Hell's Kitchen. You'll probably think it's science fiction, but it isn't. The scary thing is, it might not even be fiction. __ Enjoy!
