FOREWORD

to
Something Told
There is something to be said about a well-told story. Whether it is a flash fiction piece under 1000 words, micro fiction, which is even shorter, or a long, multi-layered story, it will take you somewhere you’ve likely never been. It can make you laugh, cry, afraid, wonder or feel compassion—not only about the world around us, but ourselves.
Sit back and delve into these tales broken down into the categories of Something Funny, Something Sad, Something Dark, Something Otherworldly and Something Noble, with a little something extra at the end.
I hope they will take you to a place of understanding, one that will inspire you to look at people with new regard…or at least inspire you to create your own story to be told in print.
With much gratitude, Something Told is presented from a love of writing—that strange calling which weighs so heavily on the soul yet brings much delight in its achievement.
