Short Circuit

About the Folder

It’s not often that I write a piece of fiction. Writing short stories is hard work but very rewarding, as they often make for the most engaging reading material.

"The Mythtery of Creation"  [13+]
Creation myths abound all throughout human culture. Clearly, the beginning of the Universe is an event that is shrouded in uncertainty, and humans have a need to explain everything—we are curious by nature.
