This is a compilation of short stories, each centering on a different principle for improving one's life. Often times I hear a good quote or lesson and wish I could read a story that illustrated them. With the new age of instant gratification, I have chosen to write stories that are very short and get to the point quickly. By providing 3-4 minute reads with each story, the reader is rewarded quickly without having to invest hours or days into a story in order to finally start digging at its central theme.

Post-apocalyptic worlds, multiverses, and modern-day society are explored in these stories among many other established universes. Some of the tales are revealed to be dreams, while others are based off of real events. Achieving Serenity delivers heart-warming, shocking, sad and hilarious content.

The Suggestion Box, Volume 3: One Thousand Words

32 parts Complete

In this edition of The Suggestion Box, I made some changes to the solicitations for each piece: (UPDATE: I have gone through and added, in parentheses, the genre of each "short story", if that helps! You'll see that there is a variety... be sure to read them all!) 1. Titles--All the segments have titles now, giving them a real sense of "short story." It also helped me differentiate between those lists that fit better as continuations for either my longer story arc (available here under the title "Serenity's Light") or separate entities. 2. Images--All segments came with an associated image from the outset, giving me added fuel for inspiration. 3. Word Limit--I set myself a goal of "one thousand words" to go with each list. Very often I exceeded it, but it also gave the opportunity for more development than just a quick "one-off," as it were. The "chapters" in this series are all strictly self-contained and (except in the case of a few) are unrelated to each other. Enjoy!
