Stories by Pedro

Pedro's writing follows, so far, a more whimsical storyline.

We like whimsy.

Short Stories

Stories About Boys on Trains

Pedro has asked that these tales be grouped together. Where they are short stories they also appear in that list. They are duplicated below for your reading fun. Note, please, that there is no next/previous chapter arrow with short stories

Ten Years

[A story in 2 brief chapters]

The Challenge That is Tony

These linked stories have been written in response to our Writing Challenges. Whichever order we list them is is "wrong" in some way, and Pedro and we have tried to make this work better. There is an internal timeline for the tales based on UK School years thus:

The UK School Year runs from 1st September and Year 1 admissions are based on the child reaching the age of five before the following 31st August.

While they can be read in the timeline order if that is your thing, Pedro considers they should be treated as if they were random pages from the narrator's journal and his suggested reading order is the same as the order they were written. This is the order if you follow these links to the chapters. Even better than that, there is a next/previous chapter link in each to try to help you!

To help you remember who is who, Pedro has also compiled this cast list covering all the 'Challenge' stories, a Dramatis Personæ, which opens in a new tab or window.
