A Conversation with Myself

“Did you ever notice that a lot of my 101 word short stories are just conversations?” I asked myself.

I replied, “Yes, I was beginning to notice that. Why do you do that?”

“I’ve found that 101 words are very limiting. Every word needs to count, and oftentimes to get a fully realized story, descriptions need to be cut down.”

“So then why conversations?” I asked knowing the reply.

“Conversations convey a story while letting the reader fill in the gaps with their own imagination! It’s magic!”

“One more question: Don’t these short conversations usually end on an anti-climatic note?”

“Yes.”
