General Musings

GENERAL MUSINGS is a collection of 4 short stories written by author J.Lynn Nail. With completely different settings and themes, these pieces of flash fiction all show various forms of loneliness.

"The Bathroom Hideout" shines a light on a darker time in the author’s life. The only true story within the collection, the author brings us to the lonely streets of Baltimore for a look at the plight of a single mom.

"Punishment" is the shortest story of the collection. Still keeping with the theme of the collection, how would you deal with being punished for something you didn’t do? Especially if the people you trust the most do not believe you?

"Ironbound Memories", written to draw attention to veteran suicide, reminds us that everyone has a story to be told. Even the strongest of warriors can bear a pain that is not easily seen.

"Who's Your Bobby?" Is inspired by Janis Joplin’s Bobby McGee. The author’s favorite song turned into a story about the what-ifs of lost love.
