    About this ebook

    This collection contains the following short stories:

    The Osprey
    Life is uncertain. Loved ones are sometimes ripped away unexpectedly and moving on can seem an insurmountable task.

    Un-Opened
    Ember knew relationships could be tumultuous and challenging. She was ready for that. Things changed with the decision to start a family. Now there are questions she doesn’t have answers for, and decisions she doesn’t want to make.

    In Search of Redemption
    People can say indefensible things during an argument, things that can destroy a friendship even after the details fade from memory. Reconciling is difficult, the first steps the most uncertain.

    Making a Call
    An unexpected collapse interrupts a woman’s time with her lover. Left with more than just her worry for him, she must make a decision that could have terrible consequences.

    4 a.m.
    Aubrey struggles to be loving and supportive when her best friend repeatedly comes to her for help. She listens, offers her home, but nothing changes. Uncomfortable questions emerge: is it possible to save someone who doesn’t want to be saved, and when is her own peace of mind more important than friendship?

    Author

    Erika Friedman

    I write novels, novellas, and short stories. My fiction is primarily character driven and ranges from real-world explorations to fantasy and science-fiction settings. I began writing when I was a young child and started a novel when I was in middle school. I worked on this for several years until realizing my writing had changed and matured enough in the writing process that it necessitated rewriting the entire novel, which was then over 360 pages long and incomplete. Deciding to put this project on hold, I began to explore the art of short stories.

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when
