The Tree Kings

by Chet Kozlowski

Fiction

I sell trees. I’m not only a seller of trees. In the past five years I’ve been a carpenter and a plumber and a house painter. I can be a handyman and a dishwasher and a short-order cook. Now I sell trees. It’s now what I do.

excerpt: The Whole

by John Reed

Fiction
