$2.99 for a Short Story?

 
Been a lot of chatter lately about charging $2.99 for a short story ebook.
 
Sounds fun. Sign me up.
 
I’ll try anything (ish) once. So I’ve raised the price of two of my short stories to $2.99. I expect I’ll leave them that price through the summer, to get 2-3 months “data”.
 
Get ‘em while they’re hot!
 
“A Fine Mess”
 
Kenneth is the best gatherer among the survivors. Only a few can gather Strings, the floating, Frayed remnants of what was once the edible vegetation of the world. Which is why there are a lot fewer people now than Kenneth remembers when he was younger. He might be only ten, but even Kenneth knows that if you can’t catch Strings, you can’t eat. And if you can’t eat, you starve and you die… (2300-word short story)
 

 
“Baptism”
 
Drunk on mojitos, high on love, and smelling of sex just consummated on the beach, Myra Acevedo went swimming for the last time. When she came out of the clear water of the Yucatan peninsula, she was no longer just Myra. She had become the end of the world. (My version of the 2012 Mayan Apocalypse.) (6000-word short story)
