The Mess and the Meaning

Hello and welcome to my collection of short stories and thoughts

Who are you? I Hear you ask

I am Steve McDonagh, professional grumpy old man, 65 years old in 2025

I do like words and I play with them a little from time to time. This site has a collection of my more recent short stories. You will see a clickable list of categories below, feel free to explore and see what you can find. Feel free to share if you like them or leave a comment so I know the stories are alive, because a story only lives when it is told 🙂
Love and Hugs
Steve
