Short stories with a great depth of character.
A celebrity power couple adopts a 3rd world child, but what is really going on? A woman Photoshops nude models all day, then comes home to reality. A cell phone calls Alexander Graham Bell. A zombie-themed murder mystery.
Humor, horror, thought-provoking vignettes - There are stories here for every taste. Some are touched by the supernatural. Some are all too real.
At 10 cents per story, Short Lives also collects these other short story collections:
4 Minute Fiction: 10 flash fictions that are between 148 and 1,125 words. In just that brief time, the characters feel loss, sympathy, and the fear that comes from seeing your life clearly for the first time.
Lost Lives: 10 short stories about lives that are lost: they go missing, or they have something missing from their lives. Some sad, some reassuring.
Also includes: "When You Dream, You Close Your Eyes" - A writer/musician dips into fantasy worlds, but he doesn't keep an eye on his own ending. Sometimes the worst fantasy is one that looks like reality.
"Sleepwalking" - James lost his short term memory in a fall. But does it really matter? Can he get by without anyone noticing?
