Short stories are like gossamer, those fine skeins that are woven by tiny spiders in the garden during autumn. They are delicate, catch just enough of the morning dew to sparkle with baubles and are a complete web of silk.
In this collection are 30 short stories that are quick to read and will hopefully catch the glittering baubles of the reader’s interest.
Join the author as she recounts the experiences of a young lady and the marriage proposals she received. There is a story of an enthusiastic shop owner; of how a father went from worry to hope, how a ‘water tank’ rose to a steeple of worship and other little escapades.
Some accounts are glimpses into the author’s past, and others are just plain yarns – nevertheless, all a bit like gossamer, freshly woven in the garden.
Cindy Pereira
Cindy Pereira, born and raised in Bangalore, India prefers to be called a story teller rather than a writer. Her love for making up stories began at a very young age when her dolls became the actors for scripts written in her mind. This turned to writing in middle school when she and her best friend hand wrote stories for each other, complete with binding and cover pages. Some of her stories spark out of actual life events and some are just yarns.
Cindy loves to take part in short story competitions and has participated in several within India and internationally. She is the winner of the Second place in the 18+ age group category of Lockdown Diaries, (organized by Secure Giving in aid of Concern India Foundation), in the Short Story segment held in July 2020.
Cindy has a Master’s Degree in English Literature and loves to trek, run and just ‘catch the sun.’ She is married and lives with her husband in Bangalore.
