The ever-churning gears within our minds seamlessly intermesh as they process moments, expressions, and experiences. Within this book, Author J. N. Bennett exposes the deepest corners of his thought machine with a series of small but complete “micro” stories. Some span a lifetime; others happen during a single conversation. From the dark story of a jilted lover in “Warning Shot,” to the aging widows who make a fortune off their husbands’ unfortunate accidents in “Haunted Real Estate,” to the self-sufficient recluse in “Off the Grid,” each of these stories won’t reveal their surprise intention until often the very last sentence. If you enjoy reading dark humor with a cerebral kick a few pages at a time, Micro Stories 2020 is the perfect book to have on your nightstand.
These are a patient's thoughts recorded in a psychiatrist's waiting room over the course of years of psychotherapy: thoughts that arrived while waiting to see the doctor. Some are funny, some are serious. Some arrived through logic and reason. Others just walked in, sat down, and acted like they owned the place. If you’ve ever been in a therapist's waiting room, you may see yourself here. If you are a family member or a friend of someone you’ve guided to seek help, you may want to know what is going on in that patient’s mind. Or maybe not.
