People have
told stories since they first developed language. Stories entertain. They also show rather than
tell, suggest rather than teach. They are a way of exploring some of life’s
questions through the experiences of other people.
The stories and
novellas on this website reflect several genres. Some have a surreal or whimsical element. Even if some seem
improbable they may not, perhaps, be impossible in the great scheme of things. But
that is for you to decide.Contents (updated 3 September 2019)
