Among my works lie a number of stories which, for some reason or another, managed to get quite some "distance" before abruptly stalling and refusing to go one more paragraph, even though I knew what was going to happen in some detail from that point on.  In one case, I know the block was caused by a dissatisfaction with the original climax I'd devised, but with all the others, the reason is completely unclear to me.  I am presenting them here in hope that sufficient feedback from the readers might help unclog the pipes and kick my Muse into providing the inspiration to finish them.   Thoughtful commentary will be greatly appreciated, but please do not offer suggestions for how I should finish the stories.  I already know exactly where they are going and how they need to end; unless otherwise noted, I'm simply stuck for lack of interest and inspiration.

All stories are G, PG, or PG-13.
All stories are downloads in PDF format and require the free program Adobe Acrobat Reader to be read or printed.
