 [Fiction | Sci-Fi | Poetry | Short Fiction]

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.
