most unexpected pleasures

while searching for something else entirely, I clicked a link in google and stumbled onto flash fiction, and as someone who normally dislikes short stories (and short-short even more), this one was effective, touching, and all too human.

Wow, that really was terrific. I'm not much for short stories either, but this one's so evocative. Thanks for the link!

That was lovely.

I don't often like short stories, but that was truly lovely.

Oh wow! This is a perfect example of the best kind of flash fiction... the kind that hits you with a mental punch you won't forget. Not for a long time.
