Short Shorts

A collection of strange, zany and interesting works.

SHORT SHORTS:

STORY COLLECTION, BY TOBY KRATS.

This trilogy collection of, mostly, non-interrelated short stories and 'poem-style' works by the writer Toby Krats is rich and lively. A dazzling array of personalities including a superhero, a slob, a Fairy-Godmother, a worker at McDonald's, a teenage future, a race-car driver and a writer who all hail from different corners of the world, cross borders; both literally and metaphorically as they move from scene to episode.

In "Sliced Bread," for example, the superhero has nowhere to change, Daisy Duke has hopes of reconciling with her lost love. In another story, a slob crosses the line in order to seek revenge.

There are ringing truths behind it all. The stories are amusing, yet sometimes the reader may feel a twist in their belly while laughing. Probably just wind.

"Short Shorts, The Trilogy" is a rarity. Rather than write for a set genre, Toby Krats writes as the genres, adding depth and clarity to his descriptions. These are stories to be read again and again; each varying in length with the commuter in mind.

Most hand-held devices will show and play, "Short Shorts", batteries not included.
