Eight Slightly Weird Short Stories

2021 Chanticleer (CIBA) First Place for Short Story Collections

These eight slightly weird short stories start with “The Damnedest Thang.” It sets the basis for a series of rather weird stories about an odd boy and his little sister. This story wrote itself one summer night in 2014 while I slept. At the time, I was writing my first novel, Liberator Legacy. I have no idea where this short story came from, though it bears vague resemblance to a story I wrote in my youth. When I awoke at 2 am this story was fully written in my head. Two hours later, I had 2500 words. It was the damnedest thang. Try reading it very slowly and aloud. Part of the fun here is the drawl, though it does fade in subsequent stories.
