Two Tales From Alfred C. Martino
Requiem for an Athlete, Grad School Daydreams

"Two Tales From Alfred C. Martino" includes two short stories from opposite ends of the emotional spectrum. The first, Requiem For An Athlete, is a somber look at the unfulfilled expectations of a once-great athlete. Grad School Daydreams, on the other hand, is a whimsical tale, set at a Southern California university, of a grad school student who daydreams and pines for a beautifully exotic woman sitting next to him in class.
