As a project Onyx Neon Shorts is simple. One monthly short story release from authors of any genre, gender, sexual orientation, or subject matter. Quality of content, not specific genres. If a short work is well written, if it makes me feel something, if it touches on something true about human nature, the world, or life I will probably like it. In this collection we have 16 examples that we were sent that show a part of human nature. They are all very different, ranging from: supervillains; to the end of the world and the last bookstores that dwell there; to a gumshoe in the city; to the tale of a boy and his search for something lost to history. These are stories about people and places—the things that shape us.
In this collection we have:
