Hi there.
Hola, Salam, Bonjour, Namaste....
*Cough* Now that the formalities are out of the way, I'll just get on with it.
Maybe you might have read my full-length novel,"Not That Interested" maybe, you might have hated it, maybe you might have enjoyed it. The point is, this "book" of sorts, isn't remotely similar to that work. While I loved committing to a freaking full length story, even with its imperfections, I am very much interested in experimenting with different genres.
If you've read my first book, you're probably aware of an alter-ego-ish character EMV (Evil Mina Voice). She is basically this extremely bitchy, random, crazy voice stuck in my protagonist's head. I soon realized that EMV is inside my head too. She is constantly dreaming up insane scenarios, and keeping me awake at night with incredible ideas about completely random stuff. (I love that word. RANDOM!)
SO! last night, while having a mostly silent inner monologue with my EMV (Or just EV I guess) I decided that enough was enough. I cannot bear dealing with these erratic thoughts on my own. I have to share them with approximately 90 Million people on a social network. Kehdiya Na. Bus. Kehdiya. (Sorry. Amitabh moment.)
I LOVE SHORT STORIES!!
They can be as long as you can dream them up to be. I want to experiment with length. The first time I came across a Six-Word story. (YES you read that right. SIX WORDS OF GENIUS) was something by Ernest Hemingway. It. Blew. My. Freaking. Mind.
Here, take a peek at Hemingway's short story "Baby Shoes" : (purported to be the result of his bet with a friend)
"For Sale: Baby shoes. Never worn."
That's it.
Now let it sink in. *Hands you a tissue*
I almost teared up when I thought too much about it. (True Story).
Maybe my stories might inspire someone else to do better...or maybe they will be utter fertilizer (Highly likely). Either way, this is a free country (Sort of), and I have access to a laptop and WiFi (Monkey with coconut image comes to mind), so basically you can't stop me from starting this initiative (Unless you report the story to Wattpad).

This book WELCOMES SUBMISSIONS. So if you have a short short story you want to to have featured here, do drop me a PM on Wattpad.
