Zack's Addiction, by Mark Tulin
11/10/2019

For years, Zack embarrassed his wife, Jackie, by making remarks about other women’s breast size, how big their bottoms were, and whether their legs were shapely, fat, or spindly.

Otherwise, a fine husband, Zack often cooked, did housework, and was a good lover. His wife wished, however, that he would stop making sexual remarks in public.

When Zack got fired for sexual harassment at work, his wife knew that either he get professional help or she’s leaving. After a few months, Jackie decided to leave Zack despite his going to therapy and making significant progress. She just couldn’t trust him.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.
