Shards and Feathers

This is a collection of short stories.
Other words for what may be contained in this collection: fragments, segments, excerpts, bits, pieces, shorts, extracts, and shreds. (Redundancy is fun.)
This is the place where puzzles and snippets are kept and shared, where they reside without need of worry or care. Poetry and ramblings may also be included.
Here I write the smallest of anything.
I would love comments, votes and feedback! Not all of these will be perfect, obviously, but I'll do the best I can to present them in a good state. Another thing, I might take a while to add another "part"... although this doesn't really have a story line, so suspense is inhibited a bit.
Enjoy!
