My short stories began to build up, so I thought I'd collect them all together here, and have a space for future shorts.
A Kindred's Embrace:
An ethereal look at a special winter's night, seen from the perspective of an unusual protagonist - in just 500 words!
This was written for submission to the Adventure Community's Holiday Spirit contest.

Mr Big Stuff:
This was my contribution in the Decameron 2.0 anthology, which featured 110 Wattpad authors. My team of 10 members had the 'Tragic Love' theme, and this is the story I created for it.

Cutie Pie:
This was a fun little 500 word short I made for @Wattvampires contest, 'Rock a Bye... What?!?!'
The prompt was an image of a baby vampire. And this is what I came up with:

Singhoul Hearts Club:
This was my contribution to @TheCRYPTIC_ 's The Laughing Crow anthology. It was my attempt at a dark humor short story, and I had a lot of fun writing it :)

Side note: I originally described this collection by writing 'My shorts began to build up', before I realised that didn't sound quite right... :/
Today was supposed to be my 20th anniversary of marriage with Thomas, but instead of going out to celebrate, I was at home waiting for my kids to come home from school. Thomas was away on a business trip. He sent out sweet messages throughout the day, saying that he will come home soon and we would celebrate then.
