Product Description
Imagine this: coming downstairs on a winter's morning to find that someone has shoved a tiny comet through your letterbox. Unwanted celestial light has faded the dado rail and a montage of family photographs is all askew from the eccentric orbit that it's assumed, on an axis from the umbrella stand to the cloakroom door. Extract from runner-up Discovering a Comet by Pauline Masurel. Discovering a Comet and More Micro-Fiction contains the winning entries from Leaf Books 2008 micro-fiction competition. From tiny comets invading your airing cupboard to still life paintings that refuse to come alive to, in Freda Love Smith s winning story Jesse and Jesus , questions that refuse to be answered but ask you to love them all the same, it s essentially just a bumper assorted collection of total brilliance.
