As I promised, this is a less intense short story. After reading about different writing styles, techniques, etc., I decided to write this one in strict narrative format. I have grown accustomed to lots of dialogue. I prefer dialogue, so this was a good challenge for me.
Here is my second short story in seven parts. This is part one.
However, for Oliver T. Horsephat, this day would bring the chance to change his life -- to redeem the family and break the curse. Perhaps then, he could marry and start a new generation of Horsephats to continue the family business.
The adventure would start with an early morning knock on the door.

The Tale of Oliver T. Horsephat -- Part 1
Oliver T. Horsephat turned 47 years old a few days ago. So naturally, today, he continued fretting over this fact and the family curse. He knew what he had to do. Go about his daily business. Death couldn't be cheated if it came for him. Oliver hadn't married so no wife would fret nor had he brought any more Horsephats into the world only to meet the same fate.
