Pause for Thought Short Story Collection Volume1 is the first of a Short Story Series that aims to provide the reader with a series of short thought-provoking stories which encourage the reader to look at the world around them from a fresh, open minded, frame of mind.

Split into the four groups of Feel Good, A Walk on the Darkside, Paranormal, and Contemplative Stories, the stories focus on the quieter moments in life, and characters who, while standing quietly in the background, still have a powerful, very personal, and at times a sad, happy, or bittersweet story to tell. Such individuals surround us on all sides, and, as readers, we might recognise ourselves within some of the stories, so what else is there to say but read, enjoy, and then reflect upon the strories within.
