Brevity is the soul of wit, Shakespeare once said. In this flash fiction collection it is also the soul of death, joy, murder, naivety, ambition, love and just about any human emotion you can think of. The stories in this book will take you close to home or to the outskirts of the universe. From the distant past to the far future. They will transport you to strange new worlds or allow you to voyage into the minds of people. In fact, all these tales have in common is that they are at most 300 words long and will entertain you to no end.
