10 Broken Windows

By Michelle Roselyn

What You Should Know About These Stories

There are 10 stories in each Volume, each will be less than 2000 words.

These are windows into life. They are completely made up. I don’t know anyone who has experienced any of these situations. They simply seemed plausible, so I wrote them down.

There is no intended moral-to-the-story for any of them, but if one comes to you or if you identify with one, then the stories have served their purpose. The stories will be diverse- just like the people you meet every day.

Here is a taste of what the reader will encounter:

Someone’s final thoughts

When you realize you are now the mentor

A reason a woman refused to wear a wedding dress

Irrational fears that rationally based

Moments in lives that moved the person onto the next phase of life.

What it’s like to lose a stick of gum

What it’s like to be house poor, and how it fouls one man’s life

What it’s like to suffer an injustice

Idioms transformed into life experience: MUD- Stick in the mud.

I live in Nashville. I am disabled, and creating stories one of the few things I have left they can't take away. I have a degree in Forensic Science, but I try to keep my mystery novels believable when one considers that the truth is stranger than fiction.

Karen stood in the main hallway of her junior high, unable to move. It was as if someone had rammed a piece of rebar down her spine, legs, and into the floor. She felt trapped. Rooted to the spot. Right here in front of all the seventh, eighth and ninth graders changing classes.

In the next fraction of a second, her life would be over. She’d never be able to return to school
