Short Lives: 30 Stories

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Short stories with a great depth of character.
A celebrity power couple adopts a 3rd world child, but what is really going on? A woman Photoshops nude models all day, then comes home to reality. A cell phone calls Alexander Graham Bell. A zombie-themed murder mystery.
Humor, horror, thought-provoking vignettes - There are stories here for every taste. Some are touched by the supernatural. Some are all too real.
At 10 cents per story, Short Lives also collects these other short story collections:
4 Minute Fiction: 10 flash fictions that are between 148 and 1,125 words. In just that brief time, the characters feel loss, sympathy, and the fear that comes from seeing your life clearly for the first time.
Lost Lives: 10 short stories about lives that are lost: they go missing, or they have something missing from their lives. Some sad, some reassuring.
Includes: "When You Dream, You Close Your Eyes" - A writer/musician dips into fantasy worlds, but he doesn't keep an eye on his own ending. Sometimes the worst fantasy is one that looks like reality.
"Sleepwalking" - James lost his short term memory in a fall. But does it really matter? Can he get by without anyone noticing?
"Lost" - A woman fills out a missing person's report, and the cop has little to go on.
"For Here or To Go" - David's business lunch with a new client turns out to be his last.
"Til Death Do You Part" - Strange things happen when people get fatally ill in a retirement community.
"The Comic" - A comedian gets the last laugh.
"Remembering Rose" - A town decides to rename a street because no one remembers who it is named for.
"One Bullet Can Save A Life" - After the Femme Fatale virus wiped out 20 percent of women, the world fell into chaos. One father has to make the ultimate sacrifice for his daughter.
"A Hero" - A 9/11 widow must come to terms with her husband's life, good and bad.
"Window Seat" - "Creepy Bob" is spying on a young couple, who decide to give him the show of his life in a story inspired by "Rear Window."

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
