Stories should change you

Short Stories Are Tiny Windows

You like what you like

Tell All the Stories

"It was the idea of going back and telling all these stories and all these things that I know and other people don't know. So why don't I tell them?"

Storytelling Is How We're Moved

"The reason we tell stories, to judge from what I have seen among traditional people, is to keep each other from being afraid.  We tell stories and write poems, historically, to keep awe and aspiration and comprehension and the other components of hopeful lives bright in each other's hearts.  Storytelling is how we're moved to take care of each other when we recognize how extremely thin the veneer of civilization we cherish is, and how very hard it is to keep that veneer from shredding in the wind."

Short Fiction Turns You Loose

"Short fiction creeps up on you like that.  Shakes you up, spins you around, ties on a blindfold and turns you loose on the world with a bat."
