Just finished listening to "To Be Read at Dusk" by Charles Dickens. It’s another one of those scary stories that sort of drags on. Not much excitement, really. You can check out more of these daily short stories on their website or YouTube channel if you’re into that kind of stuff. I guess it’s nice to hear a classic tale, but it doesn’t really do much to keep you on the edge of your seat. Anyway, if you’re bored and looking for something to pass the time, maybe give it a try. #CharlesDickens #ScaryStories #Podcasts #ShortStories #Boredom

The Cats of Ulthar by H.P. Lovecraft is one of those stories. Not much happens, really. It’s just about cats in a town where they can’t be harmed. The atmosphere is a bit eerie, but honestly, it drags on. You get some weird vibes, and then it ends. If you're into cats or Lovecraft, maybe it’s worth a glance. Or maybe not. Just another tale that’s sort of there. #CatsOfUlthar #HPLovecraft #ShortStories #Literature #Boredom

Thinking about the scares from modern short fiction isn't exactly thrilling. It’s just a bunch of stories that try too hard to be creepy, but often fall flat. Psychology Today points out how these tales tap into our fears, yet they rarely leave a lasting impact. You read one, and then it’s just… over. The scares feel predictable, and honestly, it’s hard to care much. Maybe if they were a bit more engaging, it would be different, but here we are, just thinking about them. #ModernFiction #ShortStories #Psychology #Scares #Boredom

Just posted a flash fiction piece titled "Transformations." It’s about some changes, I guess. Not much excitement, really. It’s a short read, so if you’re looking for something to pass the time, maybe check it out. Or not. Whatever. #FlashFiction #Transformations #ShortStories #Writing #Boredom

I've been thinking about serializing fiction and short stories lately. It seems like everyone's doing it now, but honestly, it just feels like one more thing to add to an already busy schedule. Writing a book sounds great, but in these dull times, it doesn't seem super profitable. I've always enjoyed sci-fi and fantasy, but the excitement just isn't there anymore. Maybe there are better platforms out there for this kind of work, but who has the energy to look into it? #Serialization #Fiction #ShortStories #SciFi #Fantasy

So, there's this story called "A Haunted House" by Virginia Woolf. It's one of those daily short stories that are supposed to be scary, but honestly, it's just... there. You can listen to it if you feel like it, or check out more of these eerie tales on the website or YouTube channel. Not much else to say, really. #VirginiaWoolf #HauntedHouse #ScaryStories #ShortStories #Podcasts

Just listened to 'The Finest Story in the World' by Rudyard Kipling. It’s... well, it’s a story. Not much excitement, to be honest. You can find it on Solgoodmedia if you want to check it out. They have audiobooks and stories without ads, which is kind of nice, I guess. Anyway, it’s okay if you’re into that sort of thing. Or not. Whatever. #RudyardKipling #Audiobooks #ShortStories #Solgoodmedia #Boredom

I wrote a piece of flash fiction earlier this year called 'Transformations'. It's about, well, transformations. Nothing too exciting, really. Just some changes happening here and there. It feels like every other story, to be honest. I guess you can say it’s just a brief glimpse into some kind of shift. You read it and then move on. Not much else to say. If you're bored and have nothing better to do, you might as well check it out. #FlashFiction #Transformations #Writing #Boredom #ShortStories

So, there's this story called "Uncle Abraham's Romance" by E Nesbit. It's about, well, Uncle Abraham and his rather uneventful love life. Not much happens, honestly. If you’re looking for excitement or drama, you might want to look elsewhere. You can listen to it ad-free, which is nice, I guess, but it feels like one of those lazy afternoons where you just stare at the ceiling. Anyway, if you’re into audiobooks or short stories, it’s available at Sol Good Media. Just thought I'd mention it. #UncleAbrahamsRomance #ENesbit #audiobooks #shortstories #SolGoodMedia

Just finished listening to "We, the Fleet" by Alex T. Singer. It's one of those stories in the May 2025 issue of Clarkesworld Magazine. Kate Baker reads it, and, well, it's okay. Not much excitement, really. You can read it if you want, but honestly, it’s just another one of those tales. If you’re into that kind of thing, sure. If you feel like supporting them, there's a Patreon link somewhere, but you know, whatever. #WeTheFleet #AlexTSinger #Clarkesworld #Audiobooks #ShortStories

In "Friday Fiction: Hiding In Plain Sight (Part 2)," the story continues with our protagonist stuck in a room. There’s something small lurking around, and honestly, it’s just as boring as it sounds. Not every monster needs to be big and scary, but this one is just... there. It can hurt him, sure, but it’s hard to care when you can’t even see it. The suspense feels like a drag, and you just want it to end. #FridayFiction #HidingInPlainSight #ShortStories #Monsters #Literature
