Fast Fiction

In Fast Fiction, you'll enter a café where the menu is loaded with nothing but literary appetisers, designed to be quickly consumed and easily digested.

You'll meet people with secrets and others who wished they knew how to keep them; characters looking to exact revenge and others getting their just desserts when karma calls. Fans of the combo platter will see it all here, from the dark to the darkly comical; the laugh-out-loud funny to the thought-provoking; offering more twists and turns than a pretzel—more ups and downs than a soufflé.

Designed to be picked up and perused at any time, Fast Fiction is perfect for those impromptu moments while you're waiting in line or otherwise find yourself with some extra time to kill—not long enough to get deeply engaged in a novel but just right as a fun alternative.

Even if you do have time to put your feet up, get comfortable and grab a book, these 101-word tales will keep you entertained, briefly encountering characters you will never see again—if you're lucky.
