The Writings of John Bear Ross

Hello. My name is John Bear Ross, and like millions of other delusional types, I think I'm a writer. To make things worse, I think I'm a science fiction writer. I'm a man of multiple talents, sculpting and design being among them, but I'm also compelled to hammer away on a keyboard during hours I should be sleeping. Needless to say, caffeine and I are well aquainted.

Here is an index of a few short stories I have written. They are taken from a small book I put together called, appropriately enough, Five Ugly Stories. It's a showcase of my talent that I put together for editors and other submissions folks. Now, it's available in segmented form for you to enjoy.

Chandra's Story

Synopsis: A guerilla fighter's strike mission against her superhuman overlords goes wrong, and she finds herself contemplating her impending death, or a choice that is possibly worse.
