Is it possible to leave the dermatologist's office without a prescription to rub something on at least some part of your skin?

How much would you pay for a single short story in ebook format? is $1 US too little or too much?

How about a short novella, say between 70-90 pages long? Does $2.50 seem right?

Can you start at a higher price and lower it if it is not selling?
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Bundle the short stories $2.50 each or 3 for $5. People love something for nothing.

Give the first chapter away for free. The rest will cost. Be sure the first chapter ends with a cliff hanger.

That's a great idea, and I'll pursue it as soon as I have more than one story...

The cliff hanger comes well into the story. I don't think the themes I handle lend themselves to early or multiple cliff hangers, like action-packed stories do.

Why not just a straight 99 cents. People are likely to buy it and if they think its junk, they won't much care but you still rack up sales.
