Slightly Bemused: Original Short Stories

by Heather

If you are one of my three fans email me here: [email protected] stories are raw and are written on a small iPad. They are recorded in one shot and I rarely play them back to see if they sound good. They are dark with lightness sprinkled in and often have an unexpected ending. Some parts are true. Mostly it’s not. The line between fact and fiction is sometimes hard to decipher.
