SHORT STORIES 

In my quest for answers to irrelevant questions, I've found solutions to non-problems.  I've seen the happy and the sad, the winner and the loser, the rich and poor.  I have realized that there's not much difference between them, save for material possessions and superficial pleasures.  The main difference in fact is what we call them.  Hence, there are no good guys and no bad guys in the stories below.  Character, simply put, is what you do consistently.  The complexity of one's thoughts and soul is as trivial as the color on the bottom of a shoe, less perhaps.  Most of the stories below are inspired by characters I've met in my travels or characters from within that have revealed themselves to me.
