Barely Human: A Short Story Collection by cabemidnights

Here lies a series of short stories written out of pure boredom or when ideas I conjure up don't fit nor expand into any bigger story. As I'll be too burdened with college and personal life, I won't be continuing Hollow Ocean for the time being as I would need to revise it. However, I took the time to make some short stories that I oftentimes use as submissions for my finals. Should the need arise, I'm not opposed to writing a second collection.

Menagerie by House_Sparrow

A collection of short stories, ranging from either only one chapter long, to only being long enough for a few chapters but not a novel. These range from stories I made recently, to ones in the past, all that I chose not to let go of despite being unable to extend the plots of each one. Why? Because to me, each one feels completed in its own way, some with a reasonable ending, others with an agreeable mystery.
