    Hello and welcome to my first compendium of short stories. Firstly, before I tell you about the content let me tell you a little about me.

    As a side-line I am also working on a series of Novella called the Harbinger Chronicles based on an Assassin in Thebes, ancient Greece, notoriously known as The Harbinger we follow him on a quest to kill all the people who murdered his loved ones as well as
