About
This site was started in september of 2006 as an exercise in character development. It has since evolved into it’s current state. IE, a place for what is known as “Flash fiction.” Extremely short stories that are less than a thousand words.
I hope that when you read them you can simply take each one for what it is. I hope you will find no messages or “points.” I only hope that you can find one that will touch a nerve in way or another, and in so doing, give you some catharsis or better understanding of yourself.
Sappy?
perhaps, but I mean it.

nice. i dig it.
I’ve given Flash Fiction a shot or two but find it very difficult. You could be something like a master.

These are good, in my humble opinion. Entertaining and pretty convincing. I dunno if theyre meant to be funny at all, but I found many to be. Maybe its only because your upfront about them being fiction? Much better writing than in some books I’ve [sadly] read.
OK well this one [http://thethingswethink.wordpress.com/2006/12/03/this-is-the-part-that-breaks-my-heart/] isn’t really ‘funny’…
I like it- very original stuff.
Great stuff - I come for my nearly daily fix. Thank you!
You write wonderful little stories! “Wicca,” was very funny, and the “Fantasyland,” punchline was very clever. “This is the part that breaks my heart,” was touching. I’m glad *somebody* writes this kind of very short fiction. I love my copy of Kafka’s really short stuff but I can never find any other fiction of similar length. Thanks! I hope you keep it up!
I’ve been reading your stories since near enough when you first started this blog and I don’t think I’ve left a comment yet - sorry!
Out of all the feeds I subscribe to, yours is the one I’ve come to look forward to most. Fantastic little stories, some of which have left me amazed.
Hope the ideas keep coming and you keep posting
