These two short stories were selected from others already written and yet more never put to paper. "Stanlee" allows us to follow the narrator, a sixteen-year-old boy, as he attempts to escape from his hard-rock grandma and engage in a Catcher-in-the-Rye adventure to seek "color" and recall memories. "Dagger" welcomes into us into a cloistered student world were Josh, Lucas and Ares are new students at boarding school. However, as they unfold pas memories and experience harrowing situations, their first year in high school is bound to be an unusual one - at times dangerous as well.
