Pie-Eyed Jeremy
Jeremy loved pie.
Jeremy loved pie with a white-hot passion.
No birthday cake for him. It had to be pie, only pie.
Dutch Apple. Mince. Blueberry. Rhubarb. Pumpkin. Coconut Custard. Steak and Kidney. Chicken Pot. If it was a pie, Jeremy would seek it out and devour it.
But pies were expensive. Fillings and crust cost money, which Jeremy had in short supply. Eventually, to support his pie habit, Jeremy turned to crime.
During a botched heist at Entenmann’s, two hostages died in a hail of bullets. Jeremy was arrested and convicted.
His last meal? Pie, of course. Cyanide pie.

Poor Jeremy! Pie has been the down-fall of many a passionate man, tsk.
Dear Mr Steve Krodman!
Hi.
My name is Mubashir Zaidi and I am a Pakistani writer and journalist.
I am a lover of short short fiction and bought your book from Amazon. I am planning to publish a book of translated short stories. I have selected one hundred short short stories from different sources and books and converting them into Urdu. I have selected some of your stories and actually writing you to get your permission.
Would you please allow me? I would acknowledge you in my book and promise to send you its copies as soon as it published. I would wait for your reply impatiently.
