Short, Short Tales

The purpose of submitting different types of stories is to explore different types of writing; Hogans Choice covers a wide range of topics, from corruption to pollution, greed, loneliness, discrimination, futility, and sex to name a few. It is funny, satirical, nostalgic, and poignant. The other stories are literal and absolutely true and are derived from experience, ranging from a story about a bad dog to a story about a cute dog. Some stories raise issues that have bothered the author for many years, such as the way justice is treated in our country and whimsical moments like The Old Mill Stream. One story even deals with the supernatural as the author has experienced it. The idea behind the stories was to create something that could be read quickly. Some will make you think, and some will make you laugh. Perhaps a few will bring tears to your eyes.
