short stories

We’re all well-intentioned liars at heart, tale spinners squatting around the fire swapping stories about who we are, why we are, what it all means.  We use figurative language to say in words what can’t be said in words because we know sometimes a lie can be the quickest route to the truth.

How we ask our questions, and how we attempt to answer them, gives us insight into who we are as individuals and as a people.  But if our stories don’t entertain as well, they’re pretty lousy lies.  I don’t know how illuminating these stories are, but I’ve made them as entertaining as I could.  So if you’re ready for tropical adventure, scroll south and enjoy.
