Stories of the Short Variety
THIS BLOG HAS MOVED OVER TO malissagreenwood.com
PLEASE GO AND FOLLOW ME THERE FOR THESE AND OTHER SHORT STORIES, AS WELL AS BOOK REVIEWS AND QUOTES. 🙂
In my tireless effort to become a “real” writer, I sometimes dabble in writing short stories. Some of these are part of a Facebook group I’m a member in entitled “The Iron Writer” where, when competing, you are given a few elements that must be included in the story. Others are simply stories with seemingly no inspiration and no point.
They are all fiction, they are all written by me – Malissa Greenwood – and they are all yours for the reading. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

“I opened the thick metal door and started down the corridor in search of unit 143.”
“If you found the fountain of youth, would you drink?”
“I don’t belong here. I’m a freak of nature, as the kids would say. Well that’s what they would say if they knew. But they don’t know; no one does..”
“It was bad enough to have been in that monstrous lab for as long as she was, she couldn’t imagine going back. What horrible experiments would they perform next?”
