Word Diet - short stories with less calories

This is a collection of quirky, tragic, serious, intimate, scary, and humorous flashfic all written with the goal of less-is-more! So take five minutes, relax and read a story, because the dishes can wait, the lawn isn't going anywhere, and if you're working from home, your boss will never know.

Most of these stories were written in conjunction with the weekly prompt used in the Weekendwritein WP group. The story prompt is indicated in parenthesis with a hashtag.

Additional flashfic outside of this collection is published on my WP profile.
