This is a collection of short stories entered into the Fine Line
Short Story Prize.
Ideas for stories are everywhere. They're in archaeological digs,
scientific hoaxes, fairy tales, peculiar laws, the lonely hearts,
identity theft, and football matches. They're hidden in snapshots
of other lives, and in images glimpsed only for a moment. They're
in your own emotions: lust, envy, rage, love, a desire for life
everlasting. Grand contemplations, monumental events, and the
moments that go almost unnoticed all offer up sparks to your
creativity. This collection brings together the absurd, the
illustrious, and the ordinary. It challenges you to invent and to
look at language for the remarkable tool that it is. Relearn it as
something that provides you with the ability to create anything in
this or any other world, and take concepts with which you thought
you were familiar and make of them something new - something fresh,
unexpected, unique, and your own. What The Writers Say: Inside you
will find a year's worth of writing prompts for a lifetime of
stories. The short are as thought provoking as the long. Within
each exercise, there are lessons to be learned and tales to be
told. All are different, all inspiring, all a testament to Kate
Gould's expertise-and all good reasons why you need to get this
