short fiction writing


I have always loved to write short fiction, and pursuing a PhD hasn't stopped me! Most of these stories below were inspired by writing prompts from various internet sites. One day soon, after my prelims, I'll submit to an actual writing magazine. For now, just enjoy!
  • "Cat's Eye"
  • "A long-awaited banquet"
  • "Everybody's looking for something"
  • "Official Stepmother Registry, 1821"
  • "Osiris"
  • "Hell looks unkindly"​​​
  • "Wildflower Pearls"​
