Achieving Serenity
This is a compilation of short stories, each centering on a different principle for improving one's life. Often times I hear a good quote or lesson and wish I could read a story that illustrated them. With the new age of instant gratification, I have chosen to write stories that are very short and get to the point quickly. By providing 3-4 minute reads with each story, the reader is rewarded quickly without having to invest hours or days into a story in order to finally start digging at its central theme. Post-apocalyptic worlds, multiverses, and modern-day society are explored in these stories among many other established universes. Some of the tales are revealed to be dreams, while others are based off of real events. Achieving Serenity delivers heart-warming, shocking, sad and hilarious content.

The (Short) Story of the Evil Umbrellas [Completed]
You wanted to know how I died? It's simple, really. I saw dead people... As umbrellas. And the umbrellas didn't like it. I'm sorry, did you want to hear more? Now a (completed) anthology of short stories, flash fiction, and hopefully quality writing. Expect to find a bereaved mother dealing with an post-apocalyptic wasteland, a hair-raising fairytale, two professional bankrobbers, the original Rick-Roller, and maybe a rubber chicken or two. And... three years later, we've reached 500 reads! Cover by @Lidlesaun. Thanks!
