Imagine that you’re a girl-woman, 18 going on 35, a hayseed blown in from the Midwest to take root as a fashion model in midtown Manhattan. Then imagine that you’re trying to take root, any root (well, most any root) with an agent who thinks he lords over that same midtown Manhattan because he happens to nest in a perch on the 85th floor of the Empire State Building.
(This is how we get started.)
Alternatively, imagine you’re that agent. That you’re a guy, wishing he were still 29 (and consequently pushing back hard on 35), whose job it is to introduce beautiful, young women to the fashion industry—an industry always hungry for fresh young faces and bodies.
(We’re still just setting the stage.)
Now imagine that you could eavesdrop on one of this couple’s likely conversations: she, eager to the point of impetuous; he, equally eager, but for a very different prize.
The questions remain: Who’s going to win, and who’s going to lose? And at what price?
Fate has a particularly unattractive way of answering those questions—in, of all unlikely places for an aspiring fashion model and her agent, the savage beauty of Yosemite National Park.
“Something Special” is the only novella—and one of five stories—in Russell Bittner’s collection Stories in the Key of C. Minor., first put out by Faraway Publishing and available here at Amazon in both paperback and digital formats.

I loved it!
By D.Z.C.
I loved this story - I think it could easily have made a full-length novel. To a certain extent it reminded me of Bittner's full-length novel, Trompe-l'oeil, but played for farce rather than tragedy and much the better for it (I've never really believed in true love...). In fact, it almost reminded me of Tom Sharpe, but a lot darker.
The two conniving main characters are rogueishly endearing, and their snappy sarcasm and endless compromising of their sparse principals creates an engaging narrative:
It's impossible to pick out a favourite quote, since I have so many, but here are one or two:
I'm admiring - or at least looking curiously at - the Native American motif displayed in various instances throughout the room when Angie interrupts my inspection.
"I thought you promised me I'd have my own bed."
***
"Bruce, what are 'calf's cheeks'?"
"I have no idea, Angie," I say - and for once it's true. If an Iowa farm girl can't identify which end of a farm pet has ended up here on the menu, I'm not about to try.
***
I quickly shift my glance to the window, but apparently not in time. She shrinks down and away, and her hand shoots up to cover her cleavage.
"We're about to land," I announce nonchalantly.
"Yes, Brucie, I see that." Her tone is not frindly, and I wonder what it is about a first view of San Francisco that gets some people so irked.
I laughed out loud numerous times, and can't recommend this tale enough. If only it were longer (or a series?).

Real fear emanates from the dark side of each one of us...
By kate papas
Here's another work by Russell Bittner that shakes, not only by the force of his narrative skill, but also by his wild imagination. Once again, the author has proven to be both a brilliant storyteller and a wise anatomist of the human soul. This is why he doesn't need cheap tricks in order to impress us. All he has to do is to offer us a mirror to look at ourselves.
At first, this amazing short story appears humorous. Speaking with musical terms, the first part brings to mind something of the lightness of the introduction to the Barber of Seville. Somewhere in the middle though, Rossini steps aside and gives his place to Mussorgsky, specifically to his Gnomus-Vivo (from his suite Pictures at an Exhibition, as arranged by Maurice Ravel.) All of a sudden, we are transferred from the light of the Mediterranean, to the menacing darkness of the frozen north. And then again, back to the everyday routine.
The night following my reading of "Something Special" I hardly slept. Why? Well, because I was obsessed by the thought that real fear emanates from the dark side of each one of us, common people. Terror doesn't need any vampires to exist. Just by being a human, we're both: possible angels and possible devils. And I'm human -if you get my point!

Short, sweet and unresolved.
By Jeff Dawson
This is a very quick read about an entertainment agent his current client, Angie. It’s a good paced story with moments of thought of tension mingled in. I found myself trying to guess how this would turn out as it is a short story. In the end, nothing is resolved or explained. I’m not sure if it was intentional or an oversight. If intentional, are readers to draw their own conclusions in hopes of trying to understand why the story was written? If not, then another look wouldn’t hurt to add some clarifications.
Three stars.
