Stories
Here you will find some fiction that I have written. I haven't been doing much creative writing recently, but it is something that I plan on getting back to. The stories are sorted alphabetically and include genre and approximate read times. If you're not sure where to start, I would recommend
Caldera if you like fantasy and
There Are No Words if science fiction is more your style.
