    About this ebook

    Three short stories on poignant life experiences. The opening story, Blood and Water begs the question: who really influences us in life? Dead Letter Room, the second story delves into the thought processes of a misfit at work. What made him that way? The final story, What Simon Knows is something hidden and mysterious. All three stories to fill spare moments. Collectively, 5.200 words.

      Feb 10, 2024

      “How’s your job at the newspaper?” my father asks me. He is sitting on a couch, a plush throw blanket spread across his legs. “The newspaper’s fine,” I lie. I lie because it is simple. I lie because it is quick. I lie because it is easier than trying
