The Ammani fever hits here too. The lady is extremely talented and poignant. This is my posting of stories that i never had time to finish or flesh out. Short takes.
anon 1 : its supposed to be a story ma. short one. edited it a bit .. make sense now?
anon 3 : Influences? Yeah!
anon 2 : Ah wel, you win some you lose some. Am trying something new :) Keep visiting, hopefully future posts wil be less disappointing for you :) and no, this is not smut! how so?? :p
Borges once said: "Tell me the story of War and Peace, how long would you go on? 10 minutes? half an hour? That is the story." "My novel is 10 pages." You are putting him to shame!!
One of the shortest funny stories I have read: "It was dark, and the bike stopped. He wanted to find out if there was fuel left. He lit a match. Age 25"
I am intrigued as to why you had to move this to another blog. But nevertheless I will try and follow this as well. I really think this is not the format you should be working on. It is good to really try really short shorts, but these would really be in the nature of passing thoughts.... bada ho to behtar hai..
No, I do not mean War and Peace, but have you read Jorge Luis Borges?
I came across some interesting set of books: Barry Trotter series.. a spoof on the HP series. You should try and read that for sheer humor.
