About this ebook
This is a story collection.
All are of five words.
Why five words, you ask?
Well, six is conquered territory.
Four is far too short.
Five, you’ll find, is perfect.
Each one is a snapshot. (That’s like all stories, really. Beginnings result from deliberate decisions. Happily ever after is illusion.)
You’re thrown into each scene.
You’re given clues, signs, fragments.
Your imagination does the rest.
Read these for your enjoyment.
Or use them as inspiration.
There are 555 in here.
It’s all about the fives.
