Four short stories

Synopsis:
I have written four very short pieces for this project, which cover a variety of unique topics. I originally submitted six pieces for my rough draft, but I decided to remove two which I believed were less polished than the rest. My intention in writing exclusively flash fiction was to practice creating a controlled mood with as few words as possible, so more than anything, these pieces are exercises in conciseness. Other than this, there is no overarching theme to the collection; each story stands on its own. I hope the reader enjoys reading my work as much as I enjoyed creating it!
