I found it. I found the thing I’m going to do in 2022. It’s stories.

Did you know that short stories were what I first started writing? Short stories, those cut diamonds, each shining so individually, each so precise and exact.

I’ve been looking for something to do in 2022. Something that is actually doable. Something that will benefit me (and maybe the world) but in a way that has nothing to do with my needing to change.

Stories.

So, what should I read? Tell me in the comments.
