Dancing On Fly One Hundred Word Stories contains over sixty stories, each one shorter than one hundred words, ranging in tone from humor to drama, from gritty reality to absurd surrealism. Inside, a celebrity plane crash is picked over by grave-robbing memorabilia hunters. Image consultants dispense career advice to both Keanu Reeves and the President of the United States. Lawyers are purchased in pet stores and retirees crowded into prisons. A lottery ticket holds one woman?s only chance for salvation, while elsewhere a long-lost husband pretends to need directions to a home he never should have left. One child becomes a cyborg to facilitate a divorce as another tortures sunflowers for their secrets. "In Dancing On Fly Ash's inspired tales, the best of these short-short-short stories packs the emotional wallop of a novel . . . and when Bell and Maday are at their best, which is frequently, these bullets of fiction sear." --Tod Goldberg, author of Living Dead Girl and Simplify
