If you like stories that feel like movies, you’re in the right place.

At Simple Stories, we bring history to life—one scene at a time.

Not with lectures. Not with textbooks. But with fictional retellings that read like a film reel: vivid, emotional, and rooted in real events, real people, and real philosophy.

Because the truth is, real life has always been more surprising, more poetic, and more powerful than anything we could make up.


What to Expect

Every Monday (for all subscribers) and Saturday (for paid subscribers), you’ll get a cinematic story grounded in real history and big ideas—written to make you feel something, not just learn something.

You’ll find:

• Short stories inspired by history, shaped by philosophy

• Scenes that play like film in your mind

• A quiet, thoughtful moment in your week

• Writing that lingers like a good movie ending

And on Thursdays, I send out a personal essay where I explore what’s been on my mind—history, science, creativity, death, love, meaning. Whatever’s real.
