While this can certainly be read on its own as a short story, it was written as backstory—a prequel—for A Hard Dazed Knight. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to upload a MOBI or PDF version of this, so for those of you who can't open EPUB files,this story is available on my website: http://jjcassidy.com Jay Broussard knows his family is dysfunctional—and not in a fun way—but he's stuck managing the family business. He never celebrates his birthday, but this one—his thirtieth—is special, and he has someone to share it with as well. And then he remembers why he never brings anybody home.
