This is cool. I enjoy watching people play around with words and things, and you really played around with the whole making-your-title-a-part-of-the-piece concept. I appreciate it. The first and third are my favorite. I think you best use the title-story combination in the first one. The body of your story is something clever and the title nudges it into context. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting concept; these pieces are truly by definition flash fiction. I enjoyed how the reader was left to interpret the context of the stories on their own, although, I would have liked to know a little more about what was occurring in these three pieces. Maybe try making the three titles of this piece interrelated to one another, this will help the work feel like more of one entity. Interesting work, awesome job.
