    About this ebook

    The short story collection, Living and Dying, And Everything In-Between, has something for everyone, and mixes fantasy and fiction with real life challenges. Experience the struggles of agoraphobia with Adam in “I Tried,” or flee from prolonged captivity with the mysterious girl in “Hapless Hope.” Go on a blind date that surprisingly doesn’t suck in “Communication Miss,” or try to figure out exactly what The Blonde, The Brunette, and The Redhead are up to in “Plan B.” But if you really want to know what Otten is all about, dive into “Void,” where you’ll meet Kirana Waterman, a missing girl who resurfaces after two years with only one thing on her mind; revenge.

      The Education of Mrs. R.

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.
