Nothing Short Of: Selected Tales from 100 Word Story

Gems
shards,
bon bons,
quickies. . .

. . .nuggets, tickles, or even pinpricks. Each 100 Word Story is its own kind of special.

NOTHING SHORT OF presents the best of 100WordStory.org, the leader in short-short fiction and a popular go-to for great reading.

In these very short stories, every word, every detail, every moment matters. And the things left out, the spaces around the stories, are just as intense.

What can a hundred words do? They can send chills, they can bring you to tears, they can take your breath away. In charged, sometimes racy encounters — from wild, messy breakups to a disgruntled clown dinner to quiet revelations over folded laundry — these 100-word stories take us to lightning moments when everything is at stake.
