No Bull, Good Short Story
By
Flash writing and singles have become an
important piece of the literary industry. There are many short stories
that are difficult to digest or enjoy. I found this short story to be a
cut above the rest. I mean no bull, it is a well written easy flowing
story that will keep you entertained and involved from the first page to
the last. It is wonderful how the author has a grasp on everyday life
and occurrences. The author expresses herself in a comfortable and
wholesome way. The story is light, airy and meaningful. What else could
you expect in a short story. The author has a unique style that makes
you trust that her material is something you can cuddle up with. I give
it 5 stars.
A Special Story
By Jada Ryker (Kentucky, USA)
I love reading S. A. Molteni's work. Her latest
offering, A Special Bull, is an excellent short story. I am from a
remote, rural area in Kentucky. Ms. Molteni always takes me back there
with her accurate descriptions:
"It was hard to sleep in the quietness of the country, or rather the loudness of it. The frogs and crickets serenaded one another during the entire night, only to quiet down when the hunting dogs started to howl near the light of dawn."
Ms. Molteni offers humor:
They were discussing different kinds of fertilizer and how cow crap gave tomatoes a different flavor than chicken crap. Alyssa wondered if it was all just horse crap, but kept that thought to herself.
The short story has lessons for the reader, whether a "city dweller" or a "country person." It's wonderful story, with laughs and tears and everything in between.

Truly Remarkable
Writing short stories is difficult because
everything has to fit so neatly into a small number of pages but S. A.
Molteni pulls it off with ease. This simple story, with it’s easy
writing style makes it a great read. It tells the story of a remarkable
transformation that saves the life of one Special Bull and helps mend
the broken heart of a man left behind following the unexpected death of
the woman he loved.
I heartily recommend this book.
