The Secret History of Ordinary Objects

Short Stories of Everyday Things That Quietly Change Destinies

Behind every doorknob, umbrella, old key, cracked mug, or forgotten trinket lies a story waiting to be told.

The Secret History of Ordinary Objects explores the quiet magic hidden in plain sight—how everyday items shape lives, alter fates, and hold memories long after people forget them.

In this enchanting collection of short stories, ordinary objects become silent witnesses to love, loss, hope, fear, and unexpected turning points. A worn umbrella that chooses who it protects. A doorknob that changes its feel depending on the truth behind it. A lost house key that finds its way to the person who needs it most. A pocket watch that stops only at destiny’s crossroads.

Each story is a reminder that life’s biggest moments often come from the smallest things—and the objects we overlook may be holding the greatest secrets of all.

Perfect for fans of magical realism, quiet mysteries, and emotional slice-of-life tales, this collection transports readers into a world where destiny hides in the details.
