Step inside a collection of short stories and flash fiction that wander through every corner of imagination. Take my hand as we step into darkness, and dash into light. Chotto in Japanese means "just a bit", and I'd like to think that my short stories carry just a bit of 物の哀れ mono no aware. A glimpse of life's beauty, fragility and a reminder of life's impermanence. Trigger warning: may contain disturbing themes, including horror and child death. ＊This collection is marked as complete... but will be added to as and when I have something new
