Summary

This is a collection of short stories. Some are sweet (relatively, as I'm always dramatic), others I wrote while working on The Dream Catchers and Gray Daze Some of my characters take me to quite the darker spaces, so I had to put down the thoughts.

" "Nah, getting scolded by Mr. Belcroft. " "Who? " "My teacher. " "That was the literature geezer teach, right? " "Same one. " "What does he want again? " "Dunno, says he's unhappy with my essay.
