Bob Deakin Short Stories

Welcome to Bob Deakin Short Stories. This site was created as a destination for those who appreciate short stories, particularly satire and observational humor.

I continue to create and develop my short stories on a daily basis in addition to the other stories that I write, which include online news stories, musician profiles, press releases and running and biking.

While I love the “serious” writing for the purpose of pointing out people, places and things that otherwise might go unnoticed, it is short story humor that is my true passion. To point out the humor in everyday life, as well as situations that never actually happen, provides laughter as therapy and a temporary escape from the seriousness of everyday life.

Please browse through the categories in search of titles that may interest you, and I sincerely hope you’ll find something to take you away for a little while, and perhaps bring a smile to your face or poke your interest in something you didn’t previously know about.

All of the stories on the site were written by me unless noted otherwise, and feel free to let me know of any people or topics you’d like for me to profile. Thank you for stopping by.
