“Fiction has been maligned for centuries as being "false," "untrue," yet good fiction provides more truth about the world, about life, and even about the reader, than can be found in non-fiction.” With that said, this is a collection of fictional short stories, inspired by a single picture. All are original works. Some are based of things going on in my life or other's around me. I draw from experiences and thoughts that aren't necessarily the best, but I guess that's what makes me a writer.
