These are stories that concentrate on writing that does not
use traditional narrative or plots or character analysis. They move away from
socio-psychological or pseudo auto-biographical fiction. They are literary
ventures that toy with literary devices resulting realistic fantasies or magic
realist. Some could be documentary fiction.
A series of houses that envelope a story each. A set of
paintings that contravene the principles of the Golden Ratio, Phi. A crab and
its choices. A festival of laughter. A man whose life is encumbered with practical
non-psychological and non-social difficulties. An afternoon spent by 4 unusual
companions. An exercise in compact event recounting in short pages. Examining
what would happen if our decisions were based on negative inference. Two
stories that confront interrogators with silent victims. Insipid government practices
that leave citizens breathing with peace. How to make a scarab from a beetle. A
prisoner who subverts the offer of a last wish. Coffins that refuse to enter
into their assigned graves result in two negative feedback ecological cycles. An
adventure to show how individuals have their own sacred space.
Some are half a page long while others go up to 10 pages.
