Short stories vary considerably in their length. In Edwardian times, Strand magazine and others normally contained stories of about 6,000 words each. In today's much smaller world of short story publishing, constraints have led to restrictions. Most competitions often call for limits to story length, commonly 2,000 words. But some stories just demand to extend beyond that limit, and many authors benefit from having more room to furnish and develop a story. This collection consists mainly of such longer short stories, along with a few shorter ones for variety. Subjects, situations and setting vary widely, although of course any writer of contemporary stories sometimes can't avoid describing the effects of the global pandemic.
