As a schoolboy, Dr. Meiksins’s stories were always published in the school’s newspaper. In his professional life as well as in his layman’s life, Dr. Meiksin had surprising, intriguing, and inspiring experiences that he likes to share with his readers. Life does not end with retirement; revenge is sweet; life does not always work out as planned. Although the stories are all fiction, they are tailored after real-life events.
