Then I will be Happy.
A man spends his entire life chasing the next thing, and then the next thing hoping it will make him happy.
------------------------------------
A bit of a throw back story to when I first started writing short stories. This one was aimed at having a clear message kinda like a kids show. It was a fun experiment in the power of repetition. I also wrote it when I really started noticing that I did what this character does. Just constantly chasing the next thing in a vain hope it will make me happy.

Image thanks to me, ooooooo I'm shaking things up.
When the Past Walks Home

Story time real quick. This story was written in 2019, and then recorded in 2020. However the original recording was done on an iPhone. I did have a massive back log of short story recordings until I went back and listened to what they actually sounded like. They all sound awful. So this particular short story 'The Lake' was rerecorded today on my new actual microphone. All of that is to say, that is why I am almost missing my Monday window. I am also currently working on now rerecording all of those short stories that I feel as though I can no longer use. Wish me luck!
What is Love?
A man is trying to live his life, but a mysterious figure keeps following him everywhere he goes. From his walks late at night, to work, and even the mans own home. Who is this mysterious thing, and why does he want to know what love is?

Would you look at that! Well, so this is funny. The podcast world is getting this before the website does. It might not be that way if you go check, but when I am writing this, this short story is not on my website, so that is really cool. I guess there is a first for everything. Image for the title is from Pixabay. Here is the link to my website as always https://www.skyindustry.net/ check it out if you are so inclined. I hope you have a wonderful week!
The Immortal being.

Introduction to Mind ta Paper
Hello, this is an introduction ta da 'Mind ta Paper' podcast. I am from the north, where 'to' is pronounced 'ta', which is why the title of the podcast is 'Mind ta Paper.' Clever dontcha think so? Any how, I am writer, I have written and published one book, aviable on Amazon and Apple Books under the name 'SkyHeart.' The second book in the series is coming out soon as well. However in addition to the books, I also write short stories. I have been struggling to find an effective way to share them and a podcast seems like an excellent way. So that is what I, SW Krueger I'm going to do. I will write, edit, record, and post the short stories I write weekly. I hope you enjoy them! Goodnight, Goodluck, and Don't Get Lost.
