I have a lot of fun writing short stories. These were hammered out in 2017, and most involve quirky little ideas that wouldn't leave me alone.
From me to you, as always, all of my appreciation for reading my work. I hope you enjoy it.

Four short stories

Fine selection of four not too long short stories. They are a bit melancholic, not too much horror, nothing extraordinary. Reading them doesn't hurt you, they are ok.

Four entertaining and quirky short stories! Loved them. The family in the circus story behaved so realistically. So awesome!
