Reading through the interesting online collection of short stories by Paul Burgess, I am at a loss as to their genre. They are science fiction, fantasy and, sort of, good old Daliesque (is there such a word?).
Anyway, this restless spirit deserves a look and maybe some things don't need a classification.
Enjoy!

Rivetting short story opening lines are hard to find available free to read on the Internet. A Grave Error by Cheryl Kaye Tardif is the exception.
Strong characterisation of the ex-husband left me feeling he only got what he deserved. Then I thought 'Oh my goodness, I'm condoning murder?'
So perhaps I'd better keep my reactions to the short story to myself ...
A good free read.
