Watch: Volume 2 of A Breath of Fiction

200 short stories--each exactly 200 words. Stories span the distant past, the possible future, our familiar present, and times that never were, but each one captures only a moment, quick and fleeting. The characters may be mighty and powerful, humble and ordinary, weak, weary, bold, hopeful, young, old, strange, familiar, human, machine, or animal, but each is glimpsed for one glittering instant. Together, these moments, each a unique encounter in itself, form a mosaic of human experience, which just like life itself can include humor, pain, fantasy, love, loss, and hope.
This is the second volume of stories collected from the ongoing flash fiction project, A Breath of Fiction, where Gregory M. Fox posts a 200 word story online every week. The beauty of these very short stories, grouped here into twelve different thematic categories, is that a reader may choose to read as much or as little as they like at a time. Since these stories were originally posted online, they are meant to be accessible for a momentary diversion, or for an extended journey through the variety of experiences presented in these breaths of fiction.
