mrjc00 rated 9 months ago- I read about 20 great stories in about 15 minutes. This is a great idea and very well done!

- From the page: This is espresso stories, an idea by the writers Chris Worth and R.P. Bird. It explores a literary form for today's frothed-up, on-the-hoof, want-it-all-now consumer lifestyle: complete stories that take no longer to read than an espresso takes to slurp. The most basic rule is that they're just a sentence or two, totalling 25 words or less. Less hard-and-fast - but equally vital - are a theme, plot, characters, and narrative development. Everything you'd see in any good story - but short enough to fit into the time it takes to reach the bottom of that bitter little cup, as you ponder on how even the briefest experiences can make life more meaningful. One of the Top 100 Stories: 'Car radio' by Glenda Madriaga Listening to my car radio on the way home, I looked in the rearview and saw this woman singing the words to my song.

- From the page: "Complete stories that take no longer to read than an espresso takes to slurp." Adele's passion: memorizing, cataloging and sampling the world's great cheeses. A lonely existence. She ached to someday meet a man with a debilitating cracker fetish.

- These might be the seeds of more developed stories.

- This seems like a good place to put those sentence fragments that are always lying about. Hook a few together and there you go.

- Those don't count as stories. Sure, full length stories are hard to write but the reason they exist is because people put forth effort.

- I think that this is a great place to gather some story ideas if you have writers block
