Publisher's Synopsis
Love and longing. Freedom and loss. Faith and its absence. Heartbreak, death, creation, sacrifice. In this collection of precisely crafted microfiction and poetry, every word carries weight.
From a millennia-long battle between shapeshifting foes to a desperate message scrawled onto a church wall, from celestial beings quoting Thomas Hardy to quiet hopes of down-and-out pub goers, a vengeful bootlegger, a grieving parent, spilled funnel cake, and reignited stars, these 100 pieces explore the raw edges of human experience.
Each story and poem, exactly 100 words, is a fleeting moment - some tender, some brutal, some surreal, some joyful, some melancholic, some nonsensical, some shy, some cosmic.
A mosaic of voices, genres, and emotions, this book hopes to prove that brevity can be just as powerful as the longest tale.
