PEOPLE FASCINATE ME ! ! !

Whenever I am "out and about" one of my favorite things is People Watching. Sometimes a passer-by will attract my special attention by their dress, or maybe some of their mannerisms, or perhaps just "the look in their eye". As a writer, People Watching can often be a goldmine of ideas for later stories.

Most, if not all, of the following stories were influenced by someone I saw, someone I know or perhaps someone featured in a newspaper article.

If you, too, are interested in other people and their various human foibles, you might like to delve into the lives of some of the strange characters in the stories below and share with them the challenges that they are facing in life.
