Short Stories

Stories of connection, distance, and reflection.

These short pieces are explorations — moments of emotional clarity that sometimes arrive in the middle of a walk or linger long after the final sentence. Often they begin with a quiet interaction between two men: the early stirrings of connection, the ache of something missed, the quiet weight of male companionship.

Each story stands on its own, but they share the same questions I return to in longer works — questions about identity, longing, and what we find in the spaces between us. I hope you’ll take them one at a time, and let each one simmer.

Joseph Campbell once said that each of us needs a “personal sacred space” — a quiet refuge where we can discover the deeper self. For me, writing fiction helps uncover that space. Maybe reading it does, too.
