Self-Published Fictional Short Stories

As a means to complete various aspects of novels (not so recent history, minor characters, and other tales that for whatever reason do not fit in) I am continuously working on a series of shorter stories.
They are told from the perspective of the character of Arthur in the form of background stories he relates to an undefined audience and always end with "Sincerely, Arthur C. Millen" and an additional note which ties the story to an event in novels. 

The Titles below are hyperlinks to the actual story.

Note:
I have never viewed Arthur as any kind of Author Surrogate - despite his name sounding awfully similar to the word author. His name was carved into stone long before I came up with the idea for backstories.
But if someone remains convinced otherwise on account of Arthur appearing wiser than most other characters I am not going to be offended. 



Hidden Tracks (Short Story)
Description: Although extrajudicial lynching was mostly outlawed or otherwise removed from civilised society, recent years in particular have shown the underlying human sentiment appears to be as present as ever.
This satirical tale explores my sentiments on such activities making a formal comeback.

The title refers the ancient art of including a hidden track at the beginning of a compact disc when rewinding from Track 1 as well as the two protagonists' perpetual search for not so well-known places to ride their mountain bikes.
That they end up keeping a secret from the narrator fits with that, too.


The New Hire (A Parable)
Description: A little something to fill the space between Arthur (the narrator of these Stories) and his friend Franklin (the narrator in Digital Is Better). They like to antagonise each other in their real (i.e. fictional) lives.
Pranking is the wrong word - it's more like taking the pish out of each other.


The Driver (True Story)
Description: Something that happened a few years back. I have no reason to make that up...
