Hint Fiction: An Anthology of Stories in 25 Words or Fewer

Here's an example of Hint Fiction, the very first story in the book, a story by Joe R. Lansdale called “The Return”: “They buried him deep. Again.”



And that's it. The whole story. Isn't that marvelous? The stories in this book flash like a lightning bolt across the sky of your head when you read them. Sometimes there's a little thunder. And rain.



Okay, one more. “The Lover's Regret” by Tess Gerritsen: “They are now grown up, the children I abandoned to be with you. They hate me. But not nearly as much as I hate you.”
