Well, I’ve decided to try my hand at short stories which will be posted on this website. Short Stories are a genre quite different from book-length stories. I like to think of them as the difference between a cappuccino and a shot of espresso. The cappuccino is experienced at a more leisurely pace; its aroma, flavor, and frothiness slowly unfold to waken the senses, while the expresso, as its name implies, gives one a quick, strong jolt––wasting no time to produce its effect.
