Story 111:

"Hands up," said the new sheriff.

"I'm innocent!" the outlaw protested. "It was my long-lost twin brother, Wes. He returned."

"So he did," said the sheriff. "It's good to see you again, Pete, but I'm afraid you're still under arrest."


Story 112:

More Short Stories!

Hello again, everyone! Because of this blog's growing popularity, and because I really love writing these stories, I've decided to resume it with 2-3 more short stories every week! I'm glad I've gotten such a positive reaction to these, so let's get going!

Here are a couple short stories to kick us off:

What's next?

Hello, my lovely, imaginary readers! Now that I've reached my goal successfully I can hardly believe it's over, but that means that it's time for a new challenge! Keep your eyes open until June, when I'll (hopefully) start a new blog and release a serial novel! The genre hasn't been decided, but it could be anything.

See you in two and a half months!
