XXVIII Explosions

Dorothy Gale once said, "There's no place like home." At the time she was in the land of Oz – a magical realm of witches, impractically-built cities of glass, and unusual colour palettes – and just wanted to return home. Had she been in Dunttstown at the time, Dorothy would be longing for the simpler life in Oz.

The trip home from Cuba brought many meetings for our plucky hero, Mongrel Stevens. On the flight he is introduced to the woman of his dreams, whom he chooses to pursue even though she's not only out of his league, but not even playing the same sport. Once home, Mongrel encountered the woman of his nightmares: his long lost estranged and deranged mother. The two ladies thrust many complications into his life, leading him to Bossa Nova, the head of the Dunttstown mafia. Mr. Nova has a good side the size of a pea, and Mongrel finds staying on it is a doomed enterprise.
