100 Word Fiction Issue #2

100 Word Fiction, Issue #2

100 Word Fiction, Issue #2 - forty stories that each say everything they need to in exactly one hundred words. This is the second print anthology from 100 Word Fiction, an independent literary journal built on a simple belief: constraint is a form of craft, and a single page can hold an entire world.

Inside, a mermaid sings the sleepless down into the water, a troll under a bridge is handed a roast beef sandwich, and an all-night gas station at the edge of the galaxy turns out to stock metaphysical poetry. Elsewhere the register turns - a question about who built a porch becomes something a veteran quietly refuses to answer, and a granddaughter turns away the visitors her grandmother never wanted. Read straight through in an afternoon or one story at a time - every piece is built to be complete in the space of a breath.

Featuring fine stories by Juleigh Howard-Hobson, Phill Provance, Jen Mierisch, Elizabeth Guilt, James Rumpel, Marissa Snyder, Milkana Mingels, Vaughan Stanger, Richard Beaulieu, Katja Rammer, Stephanie De Haven, Marie Anderson, Matthew Ployhart, Robert Bagnall, Matthew Brinkley, Arvee Fantilagan, Emily Hoover, Jason Jolley, Colleen Addison, Sara Wenger, Lorraine Rose, Alan Meyrowitz, C.
