Before anyone gets too offended or freaked out, no, I did not write the short stories listed below. So where did I get them all, you ask? Well, I got them all from people sending me various chain-mails through e-mail. You know which ones I'm talking about. The e-mails that tell you must forward the message to hundreds of people in order for good luck to happen or meeting your true love or ridding yourself of that sixth toe, whatever the case may be.

While most people would frown upon this practise, I must admit that there have been several of these stories that I caught my attention and I really enjoyed reading them. So instead of cluttering your mailbox with these little gems, I put them here for you to read at your leisure.

They may not move you as much as they did me, but they certainly do make you stop and think, or they even make you laugh a little, which is something everyone should do once in a while. After all, humour is the best medicine. One never knows what you might discover in a moment of looking inward.
