Here’s links to some really really short nonfiction I can’t stop thinking about that I think you might like too.
“His dad taught him the way to throw a punch is to only throw a punch when there’s nothing else handy, when there’s nothing else left.” — At The Shady Side Review, “Joe” by Christopher Newgent.
“More precisely, he went home with pieces of Toggenberg goat gonads implanted in his testicles.” — At defunct, “Goat Gonads: Vigor Before Viagra” by Jeremy B. Jones.
“Eat, or I’ll kill you.” — At Hot Metal Bridge, “Heidelberg: Haupstrasse #24” by Florence Grende.
“He spoke of capitalism with that old communist slogan of camaraderie, “sister.”” — At Drunken Boat, “The Ninth Floor,” part of the series “Snapshots of Albania” by Alida Karakushi and translated by Albana Karakushi.

Glad to hear it, Christopher. I’m happy to link to it. That is one hell of an amazing essay. Seriously.
