“Strapped” by Scott Holleran

Author reads his story of a dancer besieged by Islamic terrorists aloud on November 4th

On this date in history, a religious dictatorship and state sponsor of terrorism attacked America—and America appeased the Islamic state, refusing to defend America and Americans. This is why I’m publishing and posting “Strapped” today.

May you enjoy this author reading—with extemporaneous thoughts on the story’s progression, widespread rejection and acceptance for publication by a band of men who have lived to face, confront and fight Islamic terrorism firsthand.

Read “Strapped” on Africa’s Libretto Magazine, an English language publication—in majority-Moslem population Nigeria—for free here. Buy my first book, which includes “Strapped,” here.
