Short Stories

To be filled with various short stories that may dip toes into [color=blue]sci-fi[/colour], [color=green]fantasy[/colour], or [color=red]horror[/colour]. They are all soaked in existentialism, philosophy, speculation, or just general weirdness.
These stories were written to make you shudder a little, think about the weirdness of the universe, and hopefully boggle your mind for a second before you move on to the next one. Drinking tea while reading is highly recommended.
