Short Stories

Good Luck: The first short story I attempted to write. It was written after reading an anthology of H.P. Lovecraft horror stories.

The Shadowed Walls: This is my second attempt at a horror story. I think it came out a lot better than "Good Luck."

Let Me Tell You Then: A salesman that came to my door inspired this work. I admittedly got lazy with the name.

Musings of a Desert Dweller: Prior to writing this piece I had been driving around the desert. I had already considered delving into the existentialist jumble and my experiences while driving served as my motivation.

The Boardroom: I was sitting at a cafe in the local shopping district and somehow this story came to mind. I wrote it down later and it's nothing like how it was originally planned, but I'm rather pleased with it.

The Deacon of Somerset: This is a story, written for a class, that is meant to be in the style of Nathanial Hawthorne. I had a difficult time coming anywhere close to his style, but here's what came out. I doubt anyone would mistake it for a Hawthorne original, but I'd say it worked out well enough.

A Walk in the Canyon: This could be considered the sequel to Musings of a Desert Dweller.  It came fairly quickly, but it'll likely be the last "existential" bit of writing I attempt anytime soon.
