Welcome to The Neurotic Encounter, where the mundane meets the maladjusted and everyday life takes a turn for the unexpected. Here, you’ll find an intriguing mix of short stories and flash fiction, each crafted to explore the quirks and awkwardness that make life so wonderfully weird.
Some stories depict moments where the silly and embarrassing coexist with the mystical and fantastic. Others delve into the underpinnings of an event or personal experience, observing things that don’t seem to make sense, or self-conscious obsessions with social interactions. Diving into the lives of characters who represent any of us caught up in extraordinarily odd particular moments, whether it’s navigating chaotic traffic or discovering an unexpected growth in the bathroom mirror.
At The Neurotic Encounter, it’s about artistic exploration. The goal is to capture the essence of those awkward, relatable moments we all experience, while infusing them with a touch of irony and wonder. From a date gone embarrassingly wrong to a meditation that reveals the secrets of the universe, these stories aim to entertain and connect with you on a deeply human level.
Thank you for reading one of my stories.
