      Nano Flash Fiction Volume Two - James Dillingham

      Introduction

      If you are like me, you love to read but often find yourself with less time to do so than you would like. The stories contained in this book are designed for just such a situation. There are 25 stories here that are only about one page long (300 words or less).

      I have included one longer story (about 5 pages long) just in case you have a little extra time to spend.

      I have found that my stories are more creative when someone gives me a prompt. A prompt is basically a writing challenge. For example, someone may say, Write a story with a brick, a duck and a thunderstorm. The trick then becomes to write a complete story using 300 words or less that includes the prompts in a seamless manner. They should be woven into the story in a non-intrusive yet necessary way. For example, using the above prompts, it wouldn’t be fair to write, Brad walked out into the thunderstorm and saw a duck carrying a brick. That is a bit like someone saying, Use ‘bucket’ in a sentence, and I reply I looked up ‘bucket’ in the dictionary.

      Just for fun, I have included the prompts for each story. They can be found just after each story title in the table of contents.

      I hope you enjoy my stories. If you have any comments (good or bad), I would love to hear from you. My email is Jim@shift-work.com. I have two other eBooks. To find them, you can search for my name on Amazon .com. They are titled Nano Flash Fiction Volumes One and Short Attention Span Fiction. I also maintain a portfolio on Writing.com where all of my stories can be read free of charge. Simple go to the website and search for Hyperiongate.

      If you feel that you got value for your money, please tell a friend. If you don’t feel that way, please tell me.

      ARTIFACT MAN

      By James Dillingham

      In the desert east of Reno, a badly burned man is found near a strange object. The man is rushed to the hospital while the object, which soon becomes known as the Artifact, is secured by the military.

      The man and the Artifact begin to exhibit abilities and characteristics that defy explanation.

      Once he is healed, the man goes out into the world. His mission, unknown even to himself, is to usher in the next level of consciousness for mankind. It is time for us to evolve. As his influence grows, governments and religions alike, begin to see him as a threat.

      Meanwhile, physicists are beginning to believe that the Artifact is a Rosetta Stone. Could it hold the secret to the Theory of Everything or is it a quantum version of Pandora’s Box?
