Welcome to the Short Shorts page, where we keep the short stories. These are largely un-sorted for now. (I’m working on it!) I’ve compiled the available short stories, including notes on upcoming stories, from my Substack; and, I’ll be cross-posting on future occasions when I’m able to complete short stories. That being said, bear in mind that short stories, and indeed most of this blog, is made up of back-burner material. If I’m working on something long-form, then I may not always have the time (or the energy) to keep posting random stories over here.
