To be more organized, I've grouped my short stories together. Some of these are for contests, like the 100 Word No Repeat, Writer's Cramp and Quotation Inspiration entries. Some of these are just for fun. Some are ones that I'm actively working on for publication. Either way, take a look, enjoy (I hope) and let me know what you think. Smile
