Like pretty much every writer out there I have a whole lot of random stuff stockpiled. Some of it is actual completed short stories. Some of it is things I started but never finished for one reason or another. Some stuff is just the odd sketch of an idea. Some of it I think is actually pretty good. Some probably not so much. Rather than have it all sitting around collecting dust and not doing anybody any good, I thought I'd start posting it here. Just going through the stuff I've found I've already been inspired to complete a couple of things, which is good. I figure I can also add to this as new random ideas pop up. So think of this as sort of an ongoing, unending collection of odds and ends. A veritable junk shop, if you will, that gets in new stock from time to time.

You've been warned. **ADDITIONAL WARNING** - This is soooooooo first-draft-ish, so any problems you see logistically, thematically, or grammatically are all the fault of a combination of absinthe and overzealous fingers.
