Short Stories
- Breakfast at Cordelia's Aquarium
An Easter Egg...Hiding Behind The Couch! This is a very short, fun interlude in the Hiding Behind The Couch series. Unlike the rest of the series, which is written in third-person (semi-omniscient) past tense, this short story is written in first-person present tense. It has no real bearing on anything else that happens in the series; it is what it is: an Easter Egg. It is entirely self-indulgent, for which I make no apologies.
