Dark Forest
This is a collection of Short Shorts. Short stories under 1000 words each. Each of these short stories comes close to a well crafted prose poem.
The first lines of the first story give you a taste of what this collection will bring:
Dangerous For Girls, These Boys Lurking Everywhere
Girls who know this fact to be true cover their chests with pale arms. Beneath their T-shirts, youthful bareness cannot be seen, but behind locked bathroom doors, their bare nipples come to little peaks reminiscent of swirled butter cream, like their mothers whorl with spatulas along the edges of layer cakes. Someday these girls might taste the moistness of white cake in gooey bites fed to them from their young husband’s fingers.
