Inside this book are 52 short stories I wrote for The
Writer’s Cramp internet website daily contest. For this
prompt contest, we had 24 hours to write a story of no
more than 1,000 words or compose a poem that didn’t
exceed 40 lines. Creativity counted more than correct
spelling and grammar, although I am a firm believer in
using a spellchecker.
My stories, many that won and some that lost, cover a
wide range of genres. A few are autobiographical; some
are science fiction or fantasy; others eventually became
chapters in my published and unpublished novels. I hope
you might even find one or two of them amusing enough to
elicit a chuckle.
I am offering a challenge for anyone reading this
collection. If one of the 52 prompts inspires you to
write a story, give it a try.
