Bite-sized!


Have you ever looked at your hands?
Or caught them peripherally while doing something else? There, see your nails? The little things added on as afterthoughts to your fingers, by the looks of it, and yet they are tools we cannot do without. We do so much with them. They can be scissors, files, tweezers, sandpaper, devices of torture … and they are able to pick out tasty morsels from the wrapped meal you just bought at the local deli.
These tales are like that.
The bit at the end of a bigger story, or the beginning of something larger, sometimes colourful, other times plain, sometimes flaking. Sometimes broken, other times perfect. Sometimes dirty, other times trimmed.
We may think of nails as an afterthought, but they do define us in a way we cannot explain. Some of us spend hours keeping them in great shape; others among us give them only spurious attention.
A bit like these tales.
Some will grab you, some not, some are like sandpaper to your life, while others may cut you or squeeze your heart. Others are those tasty morsels.
Welcome to the afterthought realm of ‘FingerNale Tales’.

Enjoy.
