Short Fiction

We get up, we rush to work, we get late, we apologize, we take hell and can't react; therefore we are stressed out while doing the same routine over and over again. The chain of events in a day are most certainly fleeting but the the fact that they're also recurring, pushes us into a vicious circle and believe me people call that "vicious" for a pretty good reason.

I have recently remembered the long-forgotten power of reading fiction- not just to take our minds off of whatever circle is being vicious to us; but to really enjoy literarure with a pure artistc sense. While thinking you NEVER have any time for a nice, smooth read; I come bearing gifts! How about diving into the world of short fiction?

I don't know why this genre is not getting nearly the amount of attention and appreciation that it deserves but its amazing impact on you is much much longer than the story's length itself. I believe some may have an everlasting impact on people's lives and how they perceive the world, art, relationships and even the quiet noises in their heads. For anyone who wants to check out and dig deep into the genre; Edgar Allan Poe's The Masque of the Red Death and Mauppassant's The Dancers along with his Clochette should give you a great lead. Keep reading even for a "short" time you never know how long its affects are going to keep you from your regular circles!
