May Is Short Story Month

As I’ve written a fair number of them over the years, and have shared some with you on Substack- and also because I have gratefully received a large number of new subscribers over the last month (though few paying…), I am going to celebrate this month by sharing some of the stories I have published here (again) with you. Some may need more new exposure since they were published when I first came here.
And so…

Slim Slow Slider
I. I was a bit of a late adapter when it came to the newfangled technologies the humans brought into our universe.

I, on the other hand, am one, and, along with my colleagues, am more acquainted with the uglier side of the job than you…
I’m running out of space here, so I’ll let you go, but just a reminder that you can become a monthly paid subscriber here for $6 or at Patreon (see above) for even less.
Talk again soon.
I didn't realize May was short story month - thanks for sharing!
Loved Whole Lotta Trouble, just a wonderful piece that really pulls you in. Great writing.
