Summary

In Contemporary Short Stories, you'll find controversies and moral dilemmas. All of them evolve around themes you may be familiar with in your own life. In a fictional setting, these issues come to light to help you think and enjoy the entertainment value of it at the same time. 

Such issues include:

  • Rebellion, pop culture, being different, and dealing with special gifts
  • Loneliness, being an orphan, and being rejected
  • Becoming extremely wealthy, famous, or talented.
  • Sexual themes related to the law of attraction and the importance of it in someone's life
  • Trauma, repressing memories, cognitive distancing, and other similar themes
  • Dealing with the death of a loved one and depression
  • Entrepreneurship, autistic spectrum disorders, and the use of both
  • And many other themes...

The stories will help you ponder the significance of questions you may ask yourself every day. All of these stories are integrated into a lighthearted setting in each of them.

I loved these stories

Yeah, some of the stories are more of the fantasy genre, with some magic things going on. But the moral of the story is always there, the happy ending, the great way the author spins it, and what's great too, is that these stories get to the point fast. That's why they're short. But they're long enough for me. Thanks.
