A humorous collection of tales about human nature with a twist. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) April 21, 2016 - "Some Very Short Stories" by Kurt Stern, About the Book: It is the author's intention to keep these "Very Short Stories" as brief as possible so as not to bore the reader, rewarding him with a surprise and a twist in each one. All the events described are fiction. The author was privileged to live in different continents and countries enabling him to refer to a variety of mentalities yet proving that the sense of humour prevailing in each story is common to all sections of human nature. The reader will enjoy the surprising narratives, most of them with a twist at the end.

They lived in Argentina throughout the time of the government of Juan and Eva Peron before they decided to take up residence in Bogotá, Colombia.

Excerpts from the Book:
Taken from "The Extraordinary Case of Mr Norman Arkwright":
"As Mr Arkwright ordered coffee for all participants and they were about to sit down for an informal chat Mr Milner got up, rushed toward the window and jumped, to the shock and consternation of all parties present. What had driven Mr Milner to commit such a spectacular suicide?"

Taken from "Gossip":
"Caroline: I am amazed because as far as I know he….
At this point Charlotte interrupts, apparently quite upset stating that he was neither getting a divorce nor was he homosexual nor was he getting attached to a Philippine woman and that he definitely bought his Stradivarius from a Belgian source in Brussels.
All together: How do you know?
Charlotte: Because I'm his mother."
