All the great stories! I'm relatively new here and have been so impressed with the quality of the writing.
I hope you will take the time to read my entry, "Tale of a Longshoreman". It was just posted today and doesn't have many votes as yet, so I hope you will vote and comment. This is a fictional story that may be a bit different. As the title indicates, it's about a mid-fifties longshoreman living around the port of San Francisco who meets a lady in her forties, purely by chance, and then intervenes when she finds herself in trouble.
Good luck to all the contestants.
