Taking the Risk: 2014 Short Story Collection

Inspired to write a short story every month of the year, Michael Ruiz imagines a wide variety of fiction filled with romance, ambiguity, and humor: a first date; a text message taken literally; the story you tell the kids (and the story that really happened); a daily attempt to ask a girl out; a pirate captain and his wife catching a ghost captain; an engaged couple dealing with their family - in space; the perfect couple that will never know; a young boy handling a situation without mom and dad; a bank heist that goes terribly wrong; a young girl's concept of love; a neighbor's personal code; a series of emails; and a hero who must stop a master to restore order to the Ninja. The 2014 Short Story Collection includes thirteen short stories and twelve sessions from the series, "One Hour to Live."
