Notes on "The Boss"

The story titled The Boss has a few problems.
As a reader, just go with the conventions used and allow the writer to clarify things at the end. They might not be styled with contemporary writing conventions and the usage is going to be unfamiliar to those of us under thirty. But as we say now "It is what it is".

As I go through these stories I'm finding it hard to let things slide. On one hand I want to reproduce the pages as they existed without comment or editing. On the other hand I see the need to make things better. But I'm not convinced that I should take on the role of editor and or re-writer of these stories. I have added bold and italics to make a few things more clear.

If you have any ideas on the use or improvement of these stories I welcome your comments. I'm learning more about my thinking and writing through reading and re-typing this work.
But that doesn't mean it's all good. Some of it is quite dated. The dialog comes from the way people spoke in the late fifties and I'm sure many readers would think it's kind of over the top but that's what made the old Twilight Zone and old radio dramas so great. It's just that nobody does melodrama anymore.
