A Short Story Collection by Melina Maria Morry

Thirteen Emotions

Thirteen Emotions is a collection of short stories and flash fiction inspired by grief, love, anger, fear, surprise, remorse, disgust, happiness, pleasure, trust, anticipation, sadness, and envy.

From agonizing over the death of a loved one, missing someone you were once in love with, and finding out your spouse is having an affair, to the sensation of skinny-dipping in the ocean, fearing for your life in the woods, and controlling your fury as spaghetti simmers on the stove, these stories will fill you with sorrow, laughter, rage, and tears that could easily belong to either emotion.
