Children's stories: The Fish's Wish.

The Short(Cuts) is a collection of seven unique and individual stories that range across all different genres. Sometimes humorous and other times sad, the collection represents some of the smaller works that Matthew Fish has written in the past 18 years. They range in length from 1,000-word shorts to 30,000-word pieces that have been dated to show a progress and change in both narrative style and tone.

Includes three short stories and a novelette!

You feed your fish daily. You love them, one and all, and met most first as eggs. You provide dutifully for their care, minding the water temperature, the pH, the pump. Some fish are destined to remain small, whereas others grow naturally larger. These larger ones need their own space - more room to swim, spawn, grow - because their pond is small and thick with other, comparatively diminutive fish.

"The Flying Fish" is unfinished, but tells the story of an Englishman, Gethin Day, returning home after years in South America. There is a hint of the homesickness Lawrence may have felt during his long exile. The bulk of the story is the time spent on the ship which is taking Day back to England. It is a ship of fools, a "plague ship", and the only positive note is the joy Day sees in the play of the flying fish and porpoises around the ship. It is tantalizing to speculate how Day would have adapted to English life again, confined to an old house in an old country.

New faces don’t go unnoticed in small Cornish fishing villages, but when two strangers turn up in Pendennick, they soon make their presence known when they attempt to steal a boat, holding a local at gunpoint....

Will these teenage hippies find a ride, get ripped off, or make it safely to Florida with the fish?

"Levi the Fish Who Wasn’t Perfect" makes you laugh even when you’ve listened to it one hundred times. It’s about a handicapped fish, and it’s hilarious. "Samson the Flying Pig" and other stories from Rose of Sharon Farm is a collection of short reminiscences from Dr. Zebulun’s old farm, humorous but with some instances of attacks on the farm animals by wild animals (which really happened and happens). One of the attacks was on Rooster Brown, who not only survived the attack but became the "little David" of the farm after that (his "Goliath" was a neighbor’s boxer dog).
