Done. Okay, so it ended up being 52 stories in 64 weeks—sincere apologies for the unplanned additional time. Life happens. Although I missed my self-imposed target by 12 weeks, I still managed to crank out all 52 stories! The following statement may be arguable, but I believe that my writing improved over the duration, however, I’ll have to leave that assessment up to the reader.

What was your favorite story? Please comment! The most popular one will get some additional notes from me regarding the background, inspiration, and my writing and editing processes.

In the meantime, I have several dozen other short story outlines in the queue (with others rattling about in my skull but not yet committed to paper). I plan to publish these stories over the coming weeks, the frequency of which will be one story every two weeks or so.

Teaser for the next post: The Gas Station. This is an elaboration of one of my many vocations as noted on my Odd Jobs post from 4/18/2025. You meet some interesting people pumping gas. I think you’ll like it.
