Short Story Collection

Welcome to My Short Stories

Not every story is meant to become a book. Some start as simple sparks! A fleeting image, a curious what-if, a character whispering in my head. Many times, these blossom into full tales all on their own.

This section is home to those stories. They’re entirely separate from the novel I’m working to bring into the world, but they hold pieces of my heart just the same. Some began as book concepts that veered off into new territory. Others were once destined to be mere outlines, or scenes waiting for a larger plot to grow around them — until I realized they were perfect as they were: short, complete, and ready to stand on their own.

By adding this corner to my website, I’m giving these stories a place to live and breathe. I feel happy offering you something to enjoy while my book follows its own winding path toward publication.

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Email storiesbystahl@gmail.com anytime to share what you loved (or what left you wondering). After all, stories live longer when we talk about them.

Enjoy exploring these worlds.
