This ocean-themed collection features five of my drabbles: "Cleon’s Stone Figurehead", "Shark Fin Soup", "The Octopus’ Garden", "The Sea Maiden", and "Underwater Jesus".

Bite-sized stories told in exactly 100 words, this anthology is perfect when you have limited time to read. It allows you to read a few stories here and there or go on reading binges. The choice is yours.

With over 400 stories, these tales will terrify and entertain. Some will make you laugh. Some will make you think. And some will make your skin crawl. This collection features a variety of stories from creatures of the deep, the mysteries of the sea, and the darker side of human nature.

While I enjoyed many of the drabbles, here is an incomplete list of a few of my favorites:
