Chalk Story
YA drama
One day, a young man saw a little girl chasing a balloon down the street. She was headed toward an intersection and not paying attention. The young man, Charlie Wilson, ran across the street and shoved her out of the path of the truck.
He saved her life but died from the injuries of being hit by the truck that would have hit her.
Now, eight years later, his mom has lost interest in her life and her friends because she still misses Charlie. Michelle, meantime, has discovered that Charlie meant something to more than just his mother. There were a half dozen others in the neighborhood who depended on Charlie. Michelle decides to do something to not only help them but also to help his mom.
She decides to write about all the good deeds that Charlie did for people in chalk on the sidewalk so that not only the neighborhood will see it, but his mom will also see it.
But there is a storm coming and the rain will threaten to wash away Michelle's fragile sidewalk story. What will she do?
A heart warming story about friendship, Chalk Story is about 120 manuscript pages in length.

Frank Zubek Stories 1999 to 2012 Most of My Stories, More On The Way
Many of the stories IN this collection were briefly published in two smaller e-book collections this year
( Guarding Andrew Gates and Almost A Dozen ). Since a few of the stories were available for free on the orginal webpages that they were published on, I thought it best to back up and regroup.
So within these pages ( around 60 total manuscript pages) are my stories. If you’re curious about what didn’t make it into this book, I mention them in the introduction. But for right now, let me give you a brief peek at what IS here in THIS book…
There are 17 stories.
Some deal with the loss of a friend (Absent Friends), a lover ( Belated Regrets), or in one case, an entire building ( A Sin By Any Other Name).
One of the stories (The Ultimate Statistics of Curiousity), takes a look at a man who decides to grab a package from his neighbors doorstep while another story ( A Step Forward), is a look at spousal abuse with a unique twist.
The bottom line is that ALL of these stories are about common people dealing with common problems.
The human condition is an interesting subject for me to write about and if you enjoy dramatic little stories, rest assured that I tried to make it just as interesting for you.
If you wish to contact me I can be reached by email at [email protected] Or through my webpage FrankZubek.net
Enjoy and thanks for reading.
