    About this ebook

    p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Helvetica}

    A wonderful collection of ‘flash fiction’ - stories
    typically of less than two pages.


     


    Including the Fish Flash Fiction prize-winning ‘Passing Over Paradise’ - described
    by judge Chris Stewart as a “satisfyingly artful conceit."


     


    The visit of an astronaut to a Somerset pub, an Indian
    waiter struggling to live up to his review, a boy who is born without a heart,
    a man who waits for a taxi he knows will never come, a carpenter who seeks to
    profit from the fall of Troy. These are just some of the eccentric and poignant
    characters who inhabit these short, often very short, stories.


     


    David Gaffney, a master of the genre, describes a
    flash story as “a nimble, nippy little thing that could turn on a sixpence and
    accelerate quickly away”. In this fine collection of ‘nimble nippy little
    things’, Jack Lethbridge offers us succinct but satisfying stories designed for
    those with fast lives, offering us something to consume and contemplate in
    those short quiet spaces in otherwise frantic lives - a coffee break at work
    perhaps, or in the dentist’s waiting room, sitting in a carwash, waiting for a
    pizza delivery.


     


    As Jack says in the introductory story, “let me share
    my voices with you, these lives on the winds that I listen to while I wait.
    Keep me company for a while, and we can listen together.”
