Hunger, a 101-word story

My 250-word flash has been accepted for publication by Five Points magazine. The publication is highly rated according to the 2016 Pushcart Prize Literary Magazine Ranking for Fiction.

Caution: if you pull my leg and I pull yours, both of us won’t be able to walk.

I prefer observations over political discussions. The former are spontaneously honest but the latter are labored and fruitless.

Two acceptances for my flash fiction stories: from Funny Bone: Flashing for Comic Relief anthology and Flash: The International Short-Short Story Magazine (University of Chester, the UK).

If you can say dumb things that sound profound, you are above the grade of a failed writer.

Rejection: Thank you for allowing us to carefully consider “XYZ.” Unfortunately, we have to pass at this time. We wish you the best in placing this piece elsewhere. Reply: Thank you for your careful consideration of my story at 3:54 AM on Sunday morning, the time known for the pick of the human attention.
