This is the second collection of short stories. As with the first Assortment, there is no theme, no coherent line of thought. Most come from contest submittals at www.writing.com. The nice thing about these contests is it gives the writer a chance to venture out of his/her comfort zone. Sometimes, you'll be asked to write all dialogue with no descriptions. Other times, it will be only dialogue without tag lines or beats (who said what, and what were they doing when they said it). Then it could be no dialog (not my favorite).
