    About this ebook

    "Naked" is a story about an art heist in a museum, the main character is one of the paintings that get stolen and you see everything happening through the paintings eyes. Within this story, the painting watches its own friends get taken away and stolen as well. "Naked" is the dramatic piece of work within my book.
    "Abandonment" is a horror story where a group of friends; Anna, Jonathan, and Pete, decide to go into an abandoned house at night. This story is told in the first person point of view of Anna, and as you follow her through the house you get a sense of someone watching her, touching her, breathing by her, etc.
    "The Drop Off" has a more mysterious aspect to it. A woman is cooking dinner as she waits for her husband to get home from work when her doorbell rings; on her porch is a box that has dropped off, and she waits until her husband gets home to open it up. She searches the street for anyone who could've dropped it off, but she see's no one.
