Snap

Small Lives. Hard Truths. No Happy Endings.

From rain-slicked backstreets to the stale air of a late-night kebab shop, from stairwells to the quiet desperation of a kitchen at 3 a.m., these stories find their characters in the places you would rather not look.

Here are the overlooked, the hard-up, the half-broken and the barely holding on. People with too much pride and old grudges.

Bad decisions. Long memories. Short fuses. Lives balanced on the edge. In these flashes of bruising, darkly comic and unflinching fiction, ordinary moments turn ugly and tenderness arrives where it’s least expected.

The line between survival and self-destruction is razor-thin in SNAP, a collection of short stories from micro-fiction master Paul D. Brazill.
