Welcome to the Short Stories section of my humble corner of the internet. Many of the tales you’re about to read have been drafted during a simple eight hour night shift while bored out of my skull working nights in construction. Night shift is something you almost never get used to and if you haven’t done it, there’s no real way to describe it. You’re up at the wrong time, asleep at the wrong time, and the only way I could possibly keep myself sane, was to write. I figured I may as well dream while I’m awake rather than get caught actually sleeping, face down on my desk, although that happened a few times. Moving on, because that’s not anything anyone needs to know, I present to you my stories. Most of these items are unfinished, however, may warrant a few looks back on and see if the story rekindles my thought process. Grab a nice warm Irish coffee and blanket, throw a little extra Jameson in for me, hope you enjoy!
