Beauty's in a Mark: Short Stories, #1

By Jorges P. Lopez

We often don't marry the people we expect. Many of us make GRAVE mistakes which we regret forever after. But some, thanks to God and all the angels in heaven, meet someone - often by mistake - who becomes the cetre hold of our lives from then on...if we are lucky. This story tells such a narrative. A young college guy out in his wayward ways almost gets arrested in a foreign country as he smuggles goods to sell in college. Many such young men get lost that way but for this guy, he is lucky to be saved by a stranger - a stranger who, we later realize, becomes his beloved years many years later, and the mother to his two lovely daughters. But things aren't as straight as they sound here. Read it and discover yourself!
