Love and longing. Freedom and loss. Faith and its absence. Heartbreak and sacrifice. Death and creation.
​
In this collection of 100 short stories and poems, each exactly 100 words, every word matters. From shapeshifting foes and celestial musings to spilled funnel cake and pub-bound dreams, these moments capture the torn seams of being human. Some are surreal, some tender, some joyful, others brutal, nonsensical, or cosmic. Many are paired with hand-drawn illustrations and photographs by the author. A patchwork of genres, voices, and emotions, this book hopes to prove that brevity can be just as powerful as the longest tale.
