Hi everyone, this is my first forum topic and I really hope to get some feedback. I have started out a new collection of stories about a week ago. This collection of stories are mainly about "secrets". There are many secrets that people often dont want to talk about or they talk about them only when it's time. I consider this collection as an adult section of my stories because of the language and the content. The characters in these stories are inspired from real people of course but as far as I know they are not real(!) These stories also may include some similarities which are definitely unintentional. On the other hand, some stories may include real life events that took place in history. I am open to new ideas on this theme, what kind of secrets would you like to read in a collection like this?
Here is the link to the first two stories of the collection:

I'd tell you, but it's a secret.

I think you need to look for twists here. Such as... someone who believes that they committed a murder, but then, years later, meet up with their supposed victim. or.. Someone who believes they are doing a great job running a major company but then discovers it's been her/his assistant all along - and the company is about to go bust. You get the picture!

I thought writing about a lot of secrets lately. Some examples: The secrets of a widowed lady who had found out that her husband had been cheating on her for such a long time and as he was dead, the children had to meet their "real father"... many films are already made about this subject I guess.... or The secrets of a father who had killed his own son for the sake of his beloved wife... very mythological, no?... or The secrets of a succesful songwriter who had been stealing the words from an unheard favorite street poet from his small hometown... or The secrets behind my mother's cookie recipe... so on...
