SONJA'S SHORT STORIES
The stories you'll hear have been planted, grown and nurtured throughout my life before they were ripe to be harvested. I hope you’ll have as much pleasure listening to them as I had composing and reading.
Enjoy!

Written and Read by Sonja Alper
A Life in Dreams
She's a lonely teenager with hopes, dreams and angst and too much fantasy - or not?
Hershel
He's a lonely widower with a saxophone, looking for a female companion when he hears the four magic words...
Mandala
He's trying to find himself...Will he?
The Universe of CeCe
It was a hug with no strings attached.
And I survived it with a big smile on my face.
Tante Lulu
Tante Lulu has this gift, my mother calls it crazy,
she sees and talks to dead people.
Metamorphosis
The young man wears the collar of our dog around his neck
and a t-shirt and shorts
Time Capsule
Wasn’t it more than just coincidence that right then,
way up above in the skies, Neil Armstrong placed his big clunky foot ever so slightly into powdered moon dust?
