Short Stories

Here you’ll find links to download two sample short stories.

The first is a piece of flash fiction, titled ‘Methuselah’. It’s a philosophical story about a man who wants to die, but can’t.

It’s a more contained and economical piece about the idea of endless life, regret, and storytelling itself, which I might expand in the future into something larger.

The second example is a meta-fictional story about characters trapped in an author’s unfinished drafts folder – titled ‘The Draft Folder’ – something we more than likely have sitting on our desktops right now.

There’s an ensemble of characters and voices, comedy, pathos, and that nagging feeling that your half-ignored ideas are still waiting to break out and find a life for themselves.

They’ve both been taken from my self-published anthology, ‘Tales of the Unexpected‘.
