This collection of short stories you have stumbled upon marks the beginning of my published works. I will make an effort to release one story per week for your enjoyment. Following this page, the author will no longer be addressing the reader directly. I would like to thank the reader for giving me your attention if only long enough to read this initial page. You are the motivation that keeps many of us inspired to keep crafting worlds of words.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
