Difference of Opinion by hrburmeister

This is an anthology of short stories of satirical nature. The stories are all different but are binded together by their characters', sometimes ridiculous, differences in opinion. Whether that is differences because of age or life experience of differences in perceptions of sexual assault or mental health. Most readers can relate to being caught in a debate or conversation where someone has the strangest view on a topic that it's almost comical.

A Sucker for Mania (let me explainia) by JoeySanders7

A manic mind on the run, given to all kinds of fun. A little fan fiction with Back to the Future, Die Hard & Star Trek interludes, but mostly an absurdity with comedy & a tinge of drama. Won't you read me? I'm a novella & easily consumable!

It will contain steampunk, historical fiction, urban fantasy, science fiction, fantasy, slipstream, sci-fantasy, horror, paranormal, general oddity and anything else that happens to fall out of my ears as ideas formulate into stories. Enjoy. Comments and constructive feedback always welcomed.
