Shorter Tall Tales: Exciting As Novels, But In Bite-Sized Chunks

This ain't the past, y'all. No one has time to read full-length novels, am I right? Ok, maybe you do, but most of the world lives and breathes within tiny time slices, hundreds of times a day. We'll consume dozens of short articles on the web, maybe only taking the time to read the headline or skim the text, but we won't bundle all those short moments together to just sit down and read for hours. But we miss the old days when a novel would consume our time and take us away from reality. Of course, short stories are nothing new, and neither is the genre of even shorter flash fiction. Short Tall Tales embraces the flash fiction model and includes elements of our past love of longer tales, but these short/tall stories are designed to capture all of the emotion and action into tiny bites. So take a moment - really, just a moment - to escape from reality. Enjoy!
