Novels can take their mind away from stress just as much as the short story can but in one sitting. Even though short stories are a dying art form, the values taught in a short story are very emotional and humane. Short stories are meant to create feeling.

Single stories never tell the full truth of the person, just one side of it, and most of the time, it isn’t truth at all. Although we have them because we’re ignorant and can’t help ourselves, it can still be damaging to a person’s image. People tell me about the many single stories that they have of me; the most common being one is that because I’m skinny, I don’t eat a lot. Everyone always tells me that, “I’m too skinny”. This happens too many times to count, with everybody. People always…

Though this Breton lay lacks some of the elements usually present in modern fictional narratives, it still possesses short story elements…

In my opinion, I honestly thought that Reeling for the Empire was one of the creepiest short stories I have read in a very long time. For example, having someone basically kidnap you, lying to the guardian of that girl, and then turning you into a silk worm. That is very unusual. Next, I think it was a little rushed at the end. Also, I questioned a lot of the ideas in this story. My first question is why did you choose the setting in Japan and at a sweatshop? You could have chosen any place and…
