Sue has been studying Quick Fiction by Scotty Cornfield
Quick Fiction intrigued me because of its difficult premise. It’s an anthology of 101 tales, every
with solely 101 phrases. Holding to such a strict precise phrase depend is extremely troublesome and my
curiosity was piqued. The thought originated with a each day immediate given by the Monterey County
Weekly, which the creator has been enterprise for years now. He writes the immediate on the finish
of every story so you may see what impressed every one, which was a pleasant contact.
Naturally a few of the tales are higher than others. Some have intelligent puns and surprising
twists within the closing few phrases. These have been those I loved essentially the most. My favorite was Shut
Encounter with a Celeb which had a wonderful twist. I additionally actually appreciated Surgically Eliminated,
the place a medical scene was not what it first seemed to be, They Suppose They Know Us So Nicely,
which is written from a canine’s perspective discussing people along with his friends and Classes From a
Grim Reaper, the place one of many harbingers of dying decides to rebrand himself. As you may
see, the tales are very various of their content material.
These tales are so brief a couple of may be learn whereas having a tea break. They don’t require
a lot mind energy, which was superb, since I learn them whereas sick with COVID when my consideration
span was not its finest! What they’re is enjoyable and cleverly thought by. For those who can suppose up a
immediate of your personal the creator states he’ll fortunately embrace it in a future quantity and credit score you.
