Stories

How many words do you need to tell a story? Here are my attempts at micro-fiction - a series of unrelated mini tales, all under 50 words in length.

When you don't know where to turn, someone always comes along to lead you through the darkness...

A mix of short stories based on prompts. Basically, these are like my other "Shorts", and they will probably be based on characters from some of my other stories. I decided to create one place to put all the other prompts. If they are based on characters from a previous story, I'll let you know in the chapter notes.

A collection of short stuff. ~250 - 1000 words.

Short stories from prompts and my own head.

Ethan describes his incredible experience.

Miles Standifer is due to graduate in less than 24 hours. He stops by the campus library shortly before closing to return a book he borrowed months ago. While there he sees the professor he's been crushing on since sophomore year. He works up the nerve to finally approach him, but when he goes to open his mouth, he cannot speak. Neither can the professor. No one inside the library can speak. When Miles goes to leave, he finds all of the doors locked. Oh, and there's a dead body in one of the study rooms. And the promise of more death before the end of the night.

All while she watches, quietly, in the night, a survivor lives with the consequences of surviving. Drowning in guilt and shame, can he let another in?

One lifetime of experience, and suddenly... magic. Richard has come to Ireland to reflect on years gone by, not to become mixed up in the affairs of the fairy folk. The handsome stranger he meets will not be denied, however. He makes Richard young again - for a price.

Coming out later in life.
