    This book is a collection of short stories, one-shots, flash fiction, microfiction, drabbles, and all my writing contest entries. Call it what you will, but it's basically anything under the sun that I can tweak into a spontaneous narrative which can be read in one sitting; mostly inspired by prompts not limited to pictures and songs. Although extended to a variety of genres, the most prominent you will notice is either Teen Fiction or Chicklit. Usually with a length of not more than 4k words. Additional note: - This book has gone through a number of edits, yet it will still feel like it's unedited. So, my apologies if you're having a hard time digesting the story. - I do not have a fixed update schedule for this book. - Don't ghost read. Drop in a vote if you like the story ^-^ It'll mean a lot if you drop in a feedback in the comments too. - I usually leave an author's note for an explanation and to converse with readers. So, I'll see you there! - And, please forgive my engurish ò.ó.
