2008 - Cedric works a boring job in a boring company in his boring life.

2001 - In Columbus, Texas, there is an historical oak known as "The Hanging Tree." I was fascinated by this tree as a child and that fascination has carried into adulthood. I wondered what it would take to hang a man on that tree. And the fear that I felt as a child and the anger I now feel as an adult at the horrible thing that this beautiful, majestic tree was forced to behold made me write this story about a boy in the 1940's who is forced to decide between his uncle, the sheriff, and what is right.
