Splitting Narratives: A Short Story Collection

by Pigs and Whistles Publishing, Donald Craig, Ann Craig

This collection of short stories is the Craig Family’s bold step toward becoming writers – all five of us. Hopefully, anyway, we will look back on this and say, ah, this is when it all started. For the past two years, our family has been entering the WritersWeekly.com 24-Hour Short Story Writing Contest. The contest occurs four times a year, in the spring, summer, fall, and winter, and consists of a provided thematic prompt, a 24-hour deadline, and a maximum word count. This book is divided into two or three stories from each contest from Fall 2016 to Summer 2018. While the story lengths are short, falling between 750 and 1,000 words, they still need to convey engaging storylines, believable characters, and relatable themes. Whit, our family artist, has illustrated each section based on the prompt. These are not all the stories we have written for the contest, just the ones we liked the best.
