Short Stories for Stressed Grown-ups
Remember when you were a kid? And how it felt to be all tucked up and have a story read to you? What a shame that, as adults, we don‘t get to enjoy the sheer, indulgent escapism of those moments anymore. Well, now that‘s changed. With my Short Stories for Stressed Grown-ups, all you have do is find somewhere quiet, where you won‘t be disturbed, and listen to an original short story that will transport you from the troubles of your day. Whether you use it to help you get off to sleep, or to re-set in the middle of a busy day, every story is written just for you. Are you sitting comfortably..?
