• Change Lady I remember the genisis for this story, a trip to Las Vegas. If I recall right, I wrote the outline on my first Palm Pilot one evening in the hotel, then fleshed it out on the plane home. It was mostly a fun story to write, if just to toss in different details.

• Cleaning Day at the Mad Scientists Layer This one is just a bit of a bizzare trip down my thought processes. I imagine I wrote this after an exam after four days of intensive studying. At least, I hope that's the case.

• Discount University I'm only posting this to prove that I'm willing to post even my stinkers. This looks like it started as something intended to be lighthearted and silly and veered into some Twilight Zone-y ending that almost feels like its out of another story. Almost want to break the story into two completely different stories.

• The Monster in the Closet I wrote this back in 1997, long before I ever thought I'd have children. It's mildly interesting to note that, as I sit and write this, I have a little girl just a bit younger than the one here. She sees monsters, too.
  

• On The Couch I don't remember where the idea for this came from. I have always liked this story just because I think this is not too far off what might actually happen.

• Questions and Answers This was an absurd story I wrote in 1996, which has the unique distinction of being what I believe is only the second story that I ever wrote that I allowed others to see. Back when I wrote it I noted it was influenced by Kafka. Clearly when I wrote it I was even more arrogant that I am now...
  

• Swift of Foot and Hoof I know what the source of this story was, a picture drawn by the artist known as Flinthoof. I rather like the story, even if I feel I went a bit overlong. I suspect I started it without an ending, as is often the case for my longer stories. Thanks to Bryan for the assistance in formatting.
