I think the pulp short scene concept is a wonderful one, but very difficult to write well, as you obviously have based on the number of comments generated is such a short time. Could all your stories of this kind be entries in the main characters diary, perhaps she, or some other soul reading them to reminisce about the fun she has had in life? It's just a suggestion, but it could be a good vehicle to present your short story work one scene at a time while still keeping them somewhat separate.
In any event thanks again for sharing and I do understand the busy at work thing as I am in the same proverbial boat, I not having enough time to write, nor read as much as I might like these days, Jackie.
