Short Fiction, Big Thrills

Novels are wonderful.  They absorb us completely and take us to places we have never been, and sometimes never want to leave.  When we watch full feature movies we are allowed to watch someone else's life for two hours and be free from our own worries and cares.

Sometimes we don't have time for this love affair, but we still want it. 

The short story is the quickie of the literary world.  It gives us that same backseat thrill without the time investment or need for full-out love commitment.  Short and sweet, and we are left smiling.

Sometimes short is more.
