Let Your Dim Light Shine Shorts
by Dan Schwartz
Price: Free! 18900 words.
Published on November 16, 2012. Fiction.
Short stories dedicated and inspired by one of the greatest musical contributions to the world (at least in my opinion), Let Your Dim Light Shine by Soul Asylum. Each of the fourteen tracks features fantastic imagery and amazing storytelling, and as such I thought I should honor it the best way I knew how.

Biography
I am an independent author and I am driven by my dedication to nature, humor and the written word. My personal personal philosophy that there is always room for jokes, and as such my writings are always sprinkled with puns, humor, and plenty of things that can be read tongue-in-cheek (if that phrase makes sense in this context). Having strong interests in the environment and mathematics, I tend to craft my tales and works around both and I use writing as an outsource to keep my creativity alive.
