This is a collection of twenty-four short stories that I wrote over the course of twelve months. In October of 2019 I challenged myself to writing two short stories a month. Initially I never intended to share them. However, a few months in I started to share them on two different websites (Medium & DeviantArt). It should be noted that 20 of the first drafts are posted online. What is in this book are those 20 fully flushed out along with 4 new ones only available here. They got more attention than I had predicted, I got a lot of great feedback and some not so great. All of it was taken in stride and, I would say it was a great learning experience. No as far as the quality of the writing? I’ll leave that up to you and your better judgement.

Stories in this book as listed chronologically, oldest to newest. Some of them are autobiographical works of fiction. But most of them are just pure fiction. Trying my best to spread my wings and work within genres I normally don’t work in. There is a good chance that many of these will become full-fledged novels I feel like some of my best work is here.

There is a running theme that ties all these stories together despite their differences. To me it’s horribly obvious, but then again, I wrote it that way. Anyway, I hope you enjoy at least one of these.
