This is a collection of very loosely connected short stories about how cool my little brother is. In the many timelines both future and past, he is the literal best at what he does, from Bodyguard, to Mountain Biker, to Massage Therapist.This collection was a challenge I completed in August, 2026. The premise of said challenge is thus: Write a short story every single day. This is the result... It also means that it is not quite as edited as I usually prefer, but I think there is much to enjoy here!If you have a little brother, maybe he should hear how cool he is too!NOTE: Each of these stories is set in 2nd person.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 20–49 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
