MICROFICTION

For the Love of Microfiction

Why write such a short form of fiction

What can a story so short say?

It is guttural, elemental, primative. It speaks truth to power. It speaks to the heart. It has no time for fluff. It has no time for bullshit.

It’s now. It’s real.

Microfiction’s not a 15 round prizefight. It’s a kick to the nuts.

Paul Mansfield is a writer, a photographer, a guitar player, a philosopher — some he does well, some not so well, but he still tries them all.
