Assortment 3

This is the third collection of short stories. As with the other two, there is no theme, no specific genre, no set format. Most come from contest submittals at www.writing.com. The nice thing about these contests is it gives the writer a chance to venture out of his/her comfort zone. Sometimes, youll be asked to write all dialogue with no descriptions. Other times, it will be only dialogue without tag lines or beats (who said what, and what were they doing when they said it).

The stories can be short (less than 300 words) or long (up to 2500 words). They can have any theme or prompt - a poem, song lyric, a picture, a comic book cover, anything. The goal is to develop as many writing skills as possible. You never know when youll need a new approach.

I hope you like these. If you dont, please let me know what I can do to make the story better
