The great thing about this ebook is that the stories are short.The bad thing about this ebook is that the stories are short.Let me explain.I think I can safely say that we all have days when we need to get away from reality, even if it's only for a few minutes (like at work).  Both of Mr. Gaughran's stories will fill that need.In the first one, If You Go Into the Woods, the little boy wants to do just that, even though he's been warned away from the woods near his house.  Do I need to say that he does just that? :-)  And he finds something very *interesting* in the woods; I certainly wasn't expecting it.  It's quite short but it ends perfectly, IMHO.The second one, The Reset Button, is a bit darker, but very understandable.  Linus Ericksson is divorced from his wife, and she's barred him from ever seeing his son.  After not reaching her on the phone, well, let's say that some unusual things happen to Linus.  Yes, he does wish life had a reset button sometimes (who doesn't wish that?)...and he's granted that wish in a strange but satisfying way.Hope I haven't given away too much about these stories.  But if you have a few extra minutes during your busy day, this is *definitely* worth a download.  You see, I wanted to read more, which is why it's bad the stories are so short - I want to read more!  (Have I said that already? ;-))Mr. Gaughran has made quite a nice debut. :-)Disclaimer: I won a copy of this in a contest the author held.
