Dark Comedy Short Stories

What makes time fly? Can time “drag”? Three short stories illustrate how the mind perceives time under various circumstances. Anger, frustration, love, murder, and apprehension distort perceptions of time in the first story entitled "A Timely Crack". The second story, "Brainstorm", illustrates how terror, ignorance, apprehension, and blackmail may distort the experience of time. Long effort and ultimate failure alter the perception of time in "Autobiography of a Stillborn Soul", the third story.
