With the holiday shopping season in full swing, it’s the perfect time to browse the curious wares in Mari Ness‘ flash fiction “The Store,” from our Winter 2015 issue.
THE STORE MOVES AROUND. Sometimes discreetly, sliding in between two other stores; sometimes flamboyantly, planting itself firmly in a previously empty lot, with glowing “GRAND OPENING” signs and flags.
The author did a wonderful job setting the tone for this short story about a mysterious store that seems to appear out of nowhere. This story was quit short and there was essentially no plot. While I like descriptive narrative pieces I wish a bit more took place.
