    About this ebook

    Scattered is a collection of 30 flash fiction stories that encompass a rich world of people and places. Little slices of life for those who enjoy quirky quips and simple musings. John Tackett’s words enable readers to observe the familiar in a way that is unfamiliar. This is a collection of stories about life — but more importantly, these tales remind us that a rich life is one that takes in the interesting moments as keepsakes of the human experience.
