Falling leaves.
A chill in the air. Fall is the perfect time of year for a love story, and the Shades of Autumn Taste Test offers up three great stories.
In A Walk in the Woods by Jessica Freely, George has given up finding anyone after his last crush turns him down. When George crash lands in a pile of leaves one night, finding it already occupied, he discovers more than he's ever believed he could have.
In The Big Bang by GS Wiley, it's October 1962, and Jim is a college senior, more worried about his lack of a love life than impending nuclear war. When the Cuban missile crisis comes down to the wire, though, Jim's roommate David surprises them both by showing Jim exactly what he means to him.
Finally, in The Straggler, by Addison Albright, Blake and Frank work for the same company, and they meet up on a golf course where Blake is a "straggler", looking to hook up as a fourth Player for a round of golf. He ends up joining Frank and his two friends. Will they ask him to join them for more than golf?
