THE QUIET MAN

He takes his time walking to his favorite coffee shop.                                                  

It had been one of those days and he just needed a                                             

minute to catch his breath. Things will be fine, he told                                

himself. Somehow through it all, he knew things                                                 

would be fine. Not today. Someday though. Just not                                                      

today. He gathers his wits and opens the door to the                                             

little place. It’s clean and comfortable and he scans                                                       

the space looking for atable that’s out of the way and                                                        

that will let him work and be invisible. He’s begun to                                             

treasure this little bit of time where he can fade into                                       

background. The young guy behind the counter                                                     

makes his latte and calls out his name. And no eye                                             

contact is made from either one… which is fine.                                                        

Looking someone in the eye might be too telling. He                                        

doesn’t realize that the kids that run the shop have                                        

nicknamed him “the quiet guy”. He’s there most days                                                  

and says very little and after a while disappears.                                                  

Almost like a ghost, you see out of the corner of your                                       

eye and then he’s gone...


So begins the new collection of short stories from Richard Randall, the author of “one hundred little men”. “The Quiet Man” is a group of tales with humor, horror and having the courage to face the future.
