This is one of my favorite short stories. I’m sure most of you have read it. It’s pretty popular. Glad I found this instance. I’ll be posting a few things that I haven’t seen here. Let me know if I overdo it lol.

      Yeah, I’ve already posted three for today. I have literally hundreds of short stories saved so I’ll post a few here and there but I’m not going to overdo it and blow my wad in one day. This is going to be a great community. I live to read and I love short stories when I have a few minutes. Short stories are particularly interesting, such as short films, because you’re forced to get to the point relatively quickly. And I have always found that when you have a limited amount of time to get your story across, you tend to do it far more creatively than if you went full-scale.

        That’s good posting etiquette.

        I agree I’ve recently become a short stories + short movies fan myself. How much can you strip from a narrative while still portraying your ideas faithfully and clearly.

          Agreed.

          And yeah, I agree with the posting etiquette thing, since this is a new community, I figured I’d just start with a few of the more popular stories from my list to help get more clicks coming into this community. That way we’ll get more postings. I’m really excited for this. I love Lemmy but I haven’t found some of the communities I’m used to like this one. So kudos for making this happen.
