In this collection of 100 micro-fiction stories, each one is composed of exactly 100 words, telling you all you need to know. Or do they? How do you say it all, say anything , in so few words? Each vignette lives on the page like an extended Japanese poem or an abbreviated biography. A beginning or an ending or somewhere in between. An alibi, a mystery, a secret wish, or a riddle. Like fragments of a dream, we are made aware that there is always more to the story waiting to be revealed. Centuries:100 Stories in 100 Words is a collaborative effort from writers and artists Mary Corbin and Tom McGuire. Written in their distinctly different and individual voices, both writers composed fifty pieces of micro-fiction accompanied by simple illustrations, all rendered by Corbin, to help paint the picture where words leave off. Let your curiosity be stoked and imagination run wild with these terse but evocative stories. Go ahead. Fill in the rest of each story with your own special twist. Or leave them simply as they are, complete in their own unique ways.
