    About this ebook

    “The Job”
    The wife of a billionaire wants her husband dead. Today she meets with the would be killer. The meeting is short but sweet. The details of the job have been ironed out. Now all that is due is the hit man's down payment.

    “A Box of Polaroid’s”
    A woman finds a mysterious shoe box on her doorstep. She never expected the surprise that it contained, pictures of her overseas husband, when she picked it up. Nor of the final surprise that awaited her.

    “A Dreadful Mistake”
    The wars have left the world an almost barren and unlivable, filled with mutated beasts that have roamed the land. Hunters like Arconstan hunt and try to quell these creatures so that humanity may one day be able to reclaim the world. But it doesn’t help when the locals make gigantic mistakes and cause the planned hunts to change.

    Charles Souza

    I am a novelist that enjoys writing stories in the genres of fantasy, urban fantasy and science fiction. I am currently earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts – Creative Writing degree from Full Sail University. A highly active imagination and a lack of artistic skill led me to discover my passion for writing. When not slaving away at writing out my latest idea, I am grinding at the latest game that has caught my A.D.D. filled mind.
