    About this ebook

    "An obsessive young woman gets absorbed in her artwork."

    Zentangles are a popular graphic hobby. They are essentially drawings made on small pieces of papers using pen and ink. Their designs go from crude to very intricate and allegedly have mystical powers.

    This short story comes from Aisle Seat, a Collection of Slightly Dark and Quirky Short Stories.

    Zentangles, a Short Story
    Author

    John Hunter

    Sent away to school to get a fancy education, my family proudly referred to me as bilingual for an uncanny ability to speak both Standard American English and my native Cracker. After graduation from a large brick and mortar university, a curious nature and an overactive imagination have led me down many paths in life: Former Peace Corps Volunteer, sales engineer, packaging design consultant, recovering golfer and more recently, an award-winning and produced scriptwriter. As a writer, I enjoy telling slightly dark and quirky stories with a dash of humor.
