I love this collection. Some were new things I was trying, some show my passion for psychology and some my passion for history.

The Worst Date Ever is by far the funniest thing I have ever written. I tried to write a sequel, but I just couldn't get the magic to strike twice.

Ascension was nearly turned into a novella. My love for Ancient Civ was made apparent when I penned the piece. There was so much more that could have gone into it... but didn't because I felt the need to leave some of the story to the reader's imagination.

Everything Changes was the ultimate revenge tale in my opinion.

The others were mostly studies in my perception of the breakdown of society. I would consider them "modern life laid bare" pieces. ( )
