Darby

A child lost in a world so alien to him that all he can do is find a warm place to curl up and wait to die. Darby sees the child climbing into a dumpster on a cold Chicago night. Darby always lived by three simple rules.

After finding the boy his rules began to drop by the wayside.

Over the period of the next few months Darby finds that not only his life but of that of the boy and his mother, along with his friends and associates have been changed dramatically. After that mayhem ensues as you are introduced to a virtual rouges gallery of cutthroats, thieves, and liars. A few good Samaritans and well-wishers are added and if that's not enough a surprise appearance by Mr. Johnny Cash is added for a bit of flavor. Can Darby rescue the boy and himself at the same time? Or will the forces of evil prevail? And can a man of the gun become a father and husband? This book is a work of fiction. Any resemblance of characters to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. But I'm fairly sure you will recognize personalities of some characters similar in someone you know. I have also taken great liberty with locations. In the end this is a work of entertainment so I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed crafting it for you. Sincerely C. L. Moses
