Fast Fiction

Summary: Short stories and skits of varying lengths and writing styles are narrated, performed and dramatized by skilled actors. Either choose them at random, or select your favorite literary genre according to your mood. Crime Without Grime may be lighthearted or murder most foul; The Spouse Trap covers marital discord which may be funny or may be dark; Life In The Slow Lane offers anecdotal stories from suburbia that may make you laugh – or cry, while Wannarbee Bond is a pulp fiction spoof with overtones of Mickey Spillane. There are also stories that you may find Makes You Think and will provide a conversation thread with friends who are fellow listeners. But at all times we hope you will find stories to interest, intrigue and enjoy.
