Chance Encounters: A Collection of Love Short Stories Began by Chance

By Alfred Motolla

In "Chance Encounters," I explore the idea that love can be found in the most mundane of places. For example, in one story, a man meets a woman on the street, and the two of them strike up a conversation. What starts as a simple exchange of pleasantries turns into something more as the two realize they have a lot in common. They begin to see each other, and eventually, their friendship turns into something more.

A CHANCE ENCOUNTER: A LOVE STORY UNFOLDING ON THE STREETS

It was a cold winter evening, and Peter was walking down the street when he saw a woman sitting on the sidewalk, shivering. Her clothes were ragged and tattered, and she looked like she hadn't eaten in days. She held a small sign that said Please help.
