Book Four – Short Stories: My Complete Collection of SHORT STORIES

This is the fourth of six books which contain the complete collection of short stories by the late Polly Blim. Polly was not a writer, but she had a talent for coming up with story ideas that I believe the reader would find interesting. Her stories touch upon nearly every genre imaginable with more than a hint of LGBTQ+ relationships and entanglements. Some are darker than others in dealing with love, hate, jealousy, revenge, and forbidden love in a web of mystery cast before a backdrop that leans towards horror and dark erotica. These stories were possibly destined to remain on a dusty shelf or be hidden away and eventually destroyed, so I hope you find them worthy of my saving and publishing so that Polly Blim’s thoughts and imagination might be shared and hopefully appreciated. Judging them in the real world is difficult as a former friend, but I have found them entertaining, with many surprising twists beneath their dark undertow. Admittedly, some of the stories are as dark as they are erotic, which she had tried to tame, but the world sometimes is not a very nice place in which these darker stories reflect Polly’s feelings, which simply create a backdrop for stories which I think hold their own and hope that you enjoy? This fourth book in a series entitled ‘Broken Dreams’, with this selection of stories with Belinda being the first of various short stories in which the loss of someone special makes one turn to unusual means, followed by a story of a teacher who never imagined herself as a secretive, sexy super-heroine, whilst a lonely widowed artist falls head over heels in love with the neighbour’s housekeeper. Meanwhile, in feudal Japan, the youngest daughter of a General finds herself prophesied to take the throne as Queen, which doesn’t sit too well with the General’s sister . . . Aunt Fuzen.
