Could You Imagine?

A short about acceptance—even apathy—for the scale of everything.

The Stars Misaligned

A short story exploring the woes of nostalgia, when one is convinced that better days have passed. (small update, the story I had planned about death and mourning will now be a much longer work; it has not been easy finding the time and energy to write lately)

A Wardrobe of Trophies

This is a rather dark narrative transcript for a deleted scene from the film Der Untergang, or Downfall ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsnAi1rNBvA ). Like a majority of historical films, it isn't 100% accurate, prompting my use of the historical fiction tag. Something about the medic's request to see the dresses stuck with me, and I decided to write. Two sentences turned into a short story with some sort of a theme, though admittedly communicated somewhat loosely. I suppose I could have developed a segment not seen in the deleted scene, but I'd rather toil with my own story idea in the works than worry so much about this. Oddly enough, that story will deal with death as well, but not in a war setting.

I should probably see the 82 other Ugly Puggly's, but I'm liking that atmosphere with this one already.  Connects very well with the apparent mood of everyone.
