From the author, Rue Diego Ratray: Here is issue #2 of Go, Ratray, Go, Pedal/Medal (get it?). These stories have been written over the past year. They are all about running and cycling. This isn't good writing, but it is heartfelt, which can be better sometimes. Issue #1 was Head/Heel, but there was only one copy of that, for Kim, and yr not her, so no dice.
Excerpt from "You Will Run Forever":
Teachers started cursing me from a young age. Not cursing at me, that happened later, but an old-fashioned curse, setting your destiny in stone, fait accompli. Most adults believe in magic and curses and luck. If you don't believe me, go watch people play that computerized horse race the lottery runs in convenience stores. If adults are susceptible, then kids are doomed. I fell for it every time.
