Where History Meets Fiction
Different stories from different periods about different people from different walks of life, but they all have one thing in common: they are set in the world of the past. The beauty of short stories is they have all the elements of a novel, but they can be read in one sitting. (Also, you don't have to wait days and days until the next update) I update randomly, but every story is complete and can stand on its own. :) The stories range from the 1st to 20th century, so there is something in here for everyone :)Complete
