Bible Belt Boyhood - Robert Stone - Bog

A young person has a tremendous amount of information to assimilate and try to make sense of. The daily routine of getting up and going to bed often sandwiches events that, with hindsight, could be described as bizarre but at the time accepted as the norm. Normality is a term reserved for the adult world because when a young person's experience has no benchmark for comparison, everything is normal. These short tales demonstrates a youthful innocence of simply accepting and being awestruck with the unintended consequences. Young people found entertainment more by accident than by planning. The same mindset is still around but sometimes hidden by a digitally enhanced world. These stories have been changed slightly to protect the innocent and also the not so innocent. But, like all fiction, they have their origins based on fact. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did recalling them.
