The Coal Torpedo

By: Blake Fontenay

Narrated by: Kevin Stillwell

Allan Pinkerton sat in the reception area of the Executive Mansion, wondering if he had made a mistake by coming. Many men would have been intimidated by the prospect of meeting with the President of the United States of America, but that wasn’t what was bothering Pinkerton. In fact, he had sat in the same chair in that outer office many times before, waiting to see the current president’s predecessor. The advice Pinkerton had offered during those meetings had shaped the course of the Civil War and, he was sure, the eventual course of human history.

WOW!!! Speechless.

This shows the absolute power a properly written (and delivered, for that matter) short story can wield. Exceptional.

Classy What if Tale of the Civil War

Allan Pinkerton, friend of President Lincoln and protector of freedom, sat ready to meet with President Andrew Johnson, who had succeeded Abraham Lincoln following his assassination was born in North Carolina. He had a story to tell this president and he wasn't quite sure about how it would go over . . . Don't miss this fictional tale of political intrigue that will surely make you wonder about how deep and how far back corruption in the government goes . . . Excellent short story . . .
