TITLE (EDIT)
Queenie Takes The Match
DESCRIPTION
This story is set in 1903 New York City, which, by far, was a lot more dangerous place in those days than now. All of the characters, except for the Mulligan brothers and Jerome Watkins, were actual people and I tried to portray them as near to accurate as possible. Queenie may be fictitious, but there were many such fighting dogs as her, most of them not as lucky. [3,828 words]
