Humans have been telling stories for as long as we have been human. Through our stories, we share values, pass down lessons, and connect across time and culture. Yet, not all stories are crafted to teach. Some exist simply for the joy of experiencing them, for the pleasure of letting our imagination wander into uncharted worlds.
You may not like all of my stories—and that's okay. As a storyteller, my greatest pleasure comes from the act of writing itself. But if a story here makes you think, stirs your emotions, or even teaches you something new, then I've done my job.
In creating these tales, I have embraced AI as part of my storytelling process. Before you question whether this makes me any less of a storyteller, consider this: a painting doesn't arise from the brush, the canvas, or the fingers alone—it comes from the soul of the artist. Similarly, a story is born from the storyteller, not the keyboard, the software, or the AI used to bring it to life. All artists rely on tools and mediums to shape their vision. AI, for me, is a tool—a brushstroke, a chisel—that helps refine the raw material of my imagination. But it is my hands, my voice, and my creative vision that guide every step of the process.
This collection of short stories represents my journey as both an artist and a storyteller. Though AI may have helped paint the canvas, the heart of these stories comes from me and me alone. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed creating them.
