Coffee Break
Coffee Break is a mixture of short stories that I write to leave my writers block or just because I have some creativity to write things that aren't relevant to my previous stories. They mainly aren't based off of anything real, but could have a deeper meaning if you look closely. Enjoy reading my bursts of imagination Please be aware that I do include a lot of topics that could maybe trigger people: - suicidal thoughts - suicide - death/ murder Oh and if you're looking for something gay/ lesbian to read, check out chapter 12 (The Weight Of A Thousand Cries - lesbian story) and chapter 13 (Rest, Easy, My Love - gay storyline) As Spooky season arrives, I introduce to you The Halloween Files, an ongoing series as we discuss the closed cases that are around in Salt Pine.Complete
