My first short story, "The Scientist and the Billionaire," satirizes the medical industry pushing for more treatments than disease cures when a scientist discovers the cure for cancer, but learns a dark truth after being invited to dinner by a billionaire.

This sudden fiction (750 words maximum), "Have We Learned Anything Yet?" focuses on the many scandals of the world while asking one question regarding them all and the choices we make doing so.

From my earliest days of writing, "An Argument Before a Writing Contest" is a comedic detour from my early satirical works. This flash fiction (1,000 words maximum) deconstructs the six-word story format invented by Ernest Hemingway ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.") and focuses on two aspiring writers as they argue over a last-minute contest submission.

Based on a writing prompt found on Bluesky Social, this sudden fiction (750 words maximum) depicts the end of a quest for a mother who secretly saves different worlds in her spare time, even freezing dinners when the time calls for it. When she's called to the Fifth Dimension to save it on the day of her son's fifth birthday, she'll do everything she can to make it back on time.
