This book is a collection of short stories. Each story should take around fifteen minutes to read. If they take you longer than fifteen minutes, please don't worry; you can skip some of the pages or learn to read faster. An often underestimated part of our thought process is our imagination. It can create anxiety or stimulate ill-founded optimism. Now I think about it, I wrote this book using my imagination, some ill-founded optimism and a dash of anxiety. If there is a common theme in these stories, it is not to take life or what you read in this book too seriously.
