100 Word Fiction

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.
