Monster Large Mouth 1/5

Written By Scott L.

Chapter One: The First Catch

I had just returned from Bible study. The evening air was crisp, the sun slipping behind the hills of northern Baltimore County.

Bella padded beside me, ears alert, tail wagging. After a long day, I thought I’d work on something productive, fun, maybe even legendary.

The first catch tugged at my soul — and the line. I shouted:

“I got him! I got him! Oh my God, I got him!”

Scoreboard: Scott L. 1 – Monster 0.

Medi barked, celebrating my first victory.

Scott L.

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
