This is a selection of those stories that I like the most
Maybe these stories are not the best ones, nor the most artistic, creative nor educational ones. I have selected them for various reasons, as emotional ones, but mainly because when I finished writing them I got really pleased.
I hope you find them as interesting as I do, but in case you don't, you can always look for other stories :-)
