"Short Tragedies" is a collection of 20 tales that unveil the dark corners of human fate with wit and unflinching honesty. From an old man yearning for a watch he'll never own, to a bartender losing love over a fleeting smile, to a king whose justice strips him bare—these stories mirror life's cruel twists. Love betrays, hope crumbles, and karma strikes where it hurts most. With concise prose and unexpected turns, this anthology leaves a bitter aftertaste and lingering questions—for sometimes, tragedy is the rawest truth.
