Sand and Other Flash Fiction, Short Stories

This collection of short-shorts ("flash" fiction, "sudden" fiction) for those who crave a rush but have scant time to read is also a handbook for scriptwriters. In here you'll find septuagenarians on a first date, a reluctant nymphomaniac, a college student confronting a runaway wife's derringer, a prodigal son helping his mother buy vegetables, a woman going mad learning magic tricks-and on and on.
