We have a whimsical author, Pedro. Today there is but one short story on his index page. Tomorrow that changes. Since I know this is s slow burn forum, I thought I'd mention it today.

Please drop by and see what you think. And then tell us, tell him.

Just read his first short story, Saulius http://iomfats.org/storyshelf/hosted/pedro/shorts/saulius.ht ml
A worthy read, and not the usual sort of thing.

On Friday Pedro's kimono is opened further. I think we should encourage him to write more. His style is unique. Long or short, his stories paint a picture worth seeing

Whimsy? I see it otherwise. Pedro reminds me that life is vignettes that might perhaps encourage the novelist. But that the vignettes can be every bit as lovely and thought provoking in themselves as War and Peace. Most definitely the work is wonderful and creative. Thanks for including it here - both of you.
