500-word story for the June 19, 2026 weekend write-in prompt - dedication

Stitching life's tales together any which way... This is a patchwork collection of accounts from my life. Every word is true! Well, ALMOST every word. Some tales need just a little embroidery.

*featured on WattpadAnthologies* Welcome to the Night Theatre, the place where one escapes the clamour of life for a night's worth of relaxation. There are no guarantees on the quality of the film; Hands, Flora and everyone else work on a time crunch, you see. If the film is not to your liking we have refreshments and a piano on the side (if you can find it, that is). You can also visit our archives for a collection of stories ranging far and wide over the author's imagination. It is with our profound sincerity that we hope you enjoy your stay.

Nothing can kickstart the imagination as quickly as the question WHAT IF? Here's a Christmas time story in which a NY City cabbie tells you the straight dope about Christmas. Written for 500 Word Weekendwritein prompt "Discovered."

A story in 100 words written for the prompt "plan." A man, a room and a plan that didn't work out.

Word prompt "priority" What if Harry Potter had OCD, what would HIS priority list look like? This fanfic "drabble" was written to give you a brief chuckle and maybe a groan.

This Wattpad Anthology Winner is a collection of fifty-two of the short stories I've written for the Weekend Write-In challenges. Each story is exactly five hundred words long, except for two which specified one thousand words. From the beginning, I have taken the challenge further by using interpretations of the prompt that differ, sometimes dramatically, from those that usually come to mind.
