One Hundred Words

"Within these pages, a wondrous realm awaits - somewhere between once upon a time and happily ever after - to become a part of who you are, an eternal refuge absorbed into your soul."This debut collection of short stories from author Michael E Smidts takes the reader from the depths of the ocean to the farthest reaches of the solar system, from bygone eras to the distant future and everywhere in between. Each story is captured in exactly one hundred words and will spark your imagination and self-reflection."Step on board Michael Smidts's slice-of-life train and experience 215 stops that bring you full circle with the human experience. Each of these masterfully written short stories cleanses the emotional cupboard with a poetic brilliance that belies a debut offering." - Stephen Roth, author of Innocence on Trial and The Perfect Season
