That's where I got half the stories :)
I wanted to create something to scroll through on the train that was a bit more wholesome than social media, so I created an online library with all of the classic short stories for quick reading. Hoping other people find it useful too.
Big thanks to Project Gutenberg and The Library of Short Stories for most of these links.
