Short Stories

Just a couple short stories I write for fun, let me know what you think so I can become a better writer through them.
  • The Candlemaker

    This story is about connection between an old man and a young girl. How light can shine in the midst of darkness.

I only know that learning to believe in the power of my own words has been the most freeing experience of my life. It has brought me the most light. And isn't that what a poem is? A lantern glowing in the dark.
