Tiny Arrows

Tiny Arrows (2022)

Microfictions and Nanofictions.

A slim collection of mostly new flash fiction. Includes a dozen illustrations by artist David Bowman. The conceit is that each microfiction or nanofiction is a tiny arrow shot from the bow of a mythical archer.

EXAMPLE: 'THE FLASH'
     The flash fiction writer went out into the storm.
     “I need some inspiration,” he said.
     The lightning bolt turned him into ashes.
     That’ll do,” he whispered, and the index finger of his ghost began scrawling a story on the damp ground with the carbon of his death.
