Middle Man - Second Excerpt

L skipped up the walkway with extra pep. This hood wasn’t kosher at all. Keep ya eye off the prize and niggas would be up in ya shit, unknowingly kidnapping the bastard seed in the process. “Come on girl,” L groaned quietly while bangin’ on the door.

Middle Man - Excerpt

Middle Man is a story I wrote that is featured in the anthology aptly titled, "Bitch I'm From the D". The project also includes stories by Dennis Reed II, Renita M.
