Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone
Lately, sister Soso asked us in one of her lovely posts about some of the books we like most. In my reply I wrote that I enjoyed reading a collection of short stories that were no more than fifty five words each. The title of that collection was "The World's Shotest Stories" I advise you all to buy it. Trust me, once you start reading one story , you won't stop until you reach the last one! The topics range from murder to love, horror and suspense
To give you a taste of these stories, I shall type one of them here. Be careful! Most of these stories end with a twist. So I advise you to read the story more than once. The title of this story is
The Window
Since his Rita's brutal murder, Carter sits at the window
No television, reading, correspondence
His life is whatever passes outside those curtains
He doesn't care to leave the room, or know who furnishes meals, pays bills
His world is joggers, changing seasons, passing cars, Rita's ghost
Carter doesn't realize padded cells don't have windows
I hope that you liked the story. If you noticed the twist at the end, you would feel sad for Carter because it means the poor guy became insane and actually there was no window
Thank you for your time reading this and who knows? Maybe I can share more of these stories with you if you like them
