Hi,
Short Story Hopper is my new space to encourage me to write more short stories. I hope you have fun reading them. None of the stories should be interpreted as factual, though some might be based in whole or in part on reality, mine or someone else's.
My plan is to post short stories before they are "perfected," and perhaps to work on shaping them up over time.
Have a good day!
