description: Gems shards bon bons quickies tickles or even pinpricks . . . Nothing Short Of presents the best of 100 Word Story.In these very short stories every word every detail every moment matters. What can a hundred words do? They can send chills they can bring you to tears they can take your breath away. In nothing short of a hundred words is all you need. These beautifully economical short stories (yes truly stories) are photographs built with words. They capture a moment and a lifetime a fraction and a whole. They are epics the size of sound bites and they prove once and for all that size doesnt matter. Just the stories that fit inside. - Amber Sparks author of The Unfinished World I love this little big book of 100s. But lets call them Centuries because they screw up time and space these articulate deconstructions of Quantum Mechanics these hopped up and happening nano-narratives lasting lifetimes these microscopic millennia in nutshells. - Michael Martone author of Michael Martone and Winesburg Indiana From butterknives to little dippers the concerns of these stories range from the miniature to the galactic. A collection of taut tales like a set of fingers gathered into a fist. - Hilary LeichterCONTRIBUTORSRoxanne Barber Roberta Beary Digby Beaumont Karen Benke Ariel Berry Emma Bogdonoff Maggie Bohara Jean-Luc Bouchard Heather Bourbeau James Braziel Gerri Brightwell Dan Campbell Kayleb Rae Candrilli Kate Hill Cantrill Maud Casey Brian Castleberry Kevin Catalano Ashley Chantler Lina Chern Jane Ciabattari Stephen Cicirelli Shara Concepcin Doug Cornett Cherie Hunter Day Jacques Debrot Tsering Wangmo Dhompa Joe Dornich Jacqueline Doyle Andrew O.
