Spawning Fish Tales are fictional short stories, poems, and essays by Paul Kulpinski. Based on trending topics, personal lessons, and events told to me, they explore the human experience and reveal some of the ways we trick ourselves into believing untruths that cause suffering. You’ll find recognizable situations that give you pause, with a surprise or chuckle, to help you better navigate your world. They can heal, teach, and strengthen our understanding of what is true and empowering about the human condition. spawningfish.substack.com
