Alternate history short story, which marries the real life events of the Halifax explosion in 1917 with WWI, while also paying omage to All’s Quiet on the Western Front. Yes, it's a major departure from my romance novel, The Jock and the Fat Chick, or my motorcycle novel, TT Full Throttle. It was a challenge from a friend who asked me to write an alternate history short story. Something in the story still doesn't quite yet work, but that's part of the process, figuring it out, right?
