Heavy Tales Rising is a book of fictional tales that are intended to promote reanalysis of the reader's view of the world. Story One is "Loser!" and describes the experience of a "nice guy" for whom it seems "no good deed goes unpunished." Discovery of the mystery surrounding "Warrior Babies" (Story Two) is a task the reader will be engaged in from the beginning of the story to its end. The experience is exciting all the way. Finally, Story Three "Dream Come True" has the reader following the experience of a sick young fellow named Raif Whiting as he undertakes to fulfill his twisted desires. So much depends on whether or not his "luck" will hold out.
