Writing a story in under 100 words is nearly impossible . I don’t know how Hemingway did it in 6. Well, he’s Hemingway.

In the middle of the night she whispered in my ear, “I’m sorry.”
Written at 11:56 at night, on my phone, in my bedroom, in Agoura Hills CA, while feeling nauseated and extremely tired.
I think that Hemingway story is apocryphal, but I like it anyway so I continue to believe it’s true. I love flash fiction. I just spent a month writing nothing but 50-word stories, so writing 100-word epics this month feels an absolute liberty.
