Editor's Note

Hot Opener

FLORENCE, THE TOURIST SEASON A short story by Anthony R. Lusvardi The replica David, standing in front of Palazzo Vecchio, cast the first stone.  His windup was rather slow, the marble having grown stiff after so many decades mimicking a fine work of art.  The shoulders and the forearms began to tense shortly after eight o’clock, but it was not until midmorning that the sling had worked itself into a full revolution over the statue’s head and the little shard of marble concealed in the David’s right hand rocketed into the square.  If you would like to read the rest of this story, please click on more.
