The linked story above is exactly why I wrote my short story HANDS OFF. This sort of thing seems to be in the news on a weekly basis.


In this case, a man named Andre Hawthorne, who works as an usher at Nationals Park for the Washington Nationals baseball team, came home at night after work and discovered two Cane Corso dogs attacking neighborhood kids in the middle of his street. Andre fought the two 190-pound dogs off armed with only a knife and his own courage. His story is true, and in my view demonstrates a genuine act of heroism, for which the Nationals will honor him during their next pre-game ceremony.


My story HANDS OFF is only fiction. But it explores the emotions that one might go through under such circumstances, in a safe environment: your imagination.
