Meet Robert Hyma

Hello everyone! I’m a writer, which has largely been a secret to just about everyone. I’ve been writing since I was a teenager and haven’t shown anyone my work. Why is that, exactly?

Well, a few things:

  • A general unwillingness to show anyone anything,
  • A love-affair with writing a massive novel that eludes completion,
  • And, finally, being otherwise busy in the way life tends to make all of us.

Enter: quarantine and more free time.

Like so many during the pandemic, I’ve turned to unfinished projects that deserve a second chance; this website being one of them. It’s been in the works for a while, but I think now is as good a time as ever to showcase some stories that might help.

In short, this website is a collection of things I’ve written over the years.

I know reading short stories online isn’t for everyone. Even I have a hard time understanding who reads a short story on a personal website—

(Seriously, who does that?)

But, if there’s one thing I’ve learned about stories, it is this:

Short stories are like songs; either they are your jam or they are not.

So, if you’re the kind of person who likes to jam to the music I make (meaning, stories), then this is the place for you. I write all kinds of genres, styles, and I’m sure there’s something here for just about everyone.

If you’re down for that, to see where all of this is heading, then please read on.

I’m glad you’re here,
