Days Are Beautiful: 100 Flash Fiction Stories

When regular fiction takes too long, try a 100-word story.

Written during the dark and weird lockdown of the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic, these amuse-bouche stories come together to form a book that's easy to read, often funny, and sometimes unsettling.

Meet Diane, who can't decide which way to drive her car. And there's Dr. JJ, offering his best "quarantine posture tips," plus Jimmy, a snail needing a new ride. These tantalizing story snacks, plus 97 more, provide unique and poignant observations about nature and humankind.

Read it quickly, or savor the stories one each day, as they were written. This book is the epitome of versatility!

Life comes at you fast. Pick up Days Are Beautiful, the first microfiction collection by Andrea C. Neil, and slow things down. Just for a minute or two.
