During the 2020 Covid-19 (Coronavirus) crisis I began writing and reading 1000 word short stories based on five randomly chosen words, courtesy of www.textfixer.com. Many of those stories were subsequently published in literary journals including Constellations, Litro, High Shelf, Progenitor, Kithe, Dreamcatcher, Ab Terra and The Freshwater Review. Below is a selection of those videos. The YouTube Channel can be found HERE.
