Short Story Collection

Please come in, and do make yourself at home! Ah, I notice you eyeing those bookshelves along the wall. Might you be asking yourself, "why all the books?"
Well, my dear, those are the stories I've written over my century of existence. Oh, I know I don't look a day over thirty, but I appreciate the compliment nonetheless!
Is there a particular volume that's caught your eye? Tickled your fancy? Perhaps you would like to start reading? You are most welcome to! You know, a century all alone is lonely, I'd adore any feedback you might have.
I'll fetch the cocoa... maybe some shortbread biscuits, too. Please get comfortable; I'm sure you'll soon get lost in the world of fantasy.
