Narrated Archives samples the vast quantity of short stories by the prolific author O. Henry. Many of his stories explore themes of coincidence, fate, sacrifice, and the ironies of everyday life. His trademark "twist ending" became so renowned that it is sometimes referred to as an "O. Henry ending".

1. After Twenty Years - set in New York City with an ironic ending.
2. By Courier - As with many of O.Henry’s stories this story plays on the misinterpretation of messages and the importance of clear communication in relationships.
3. 3 “Mini” Stories - less than 200 words each
