Below, find links to some very weird and fun short stories I like that’ll only take you a minute to read but will make your day better.
But first, a note: I’ve heard from a few of you grammarians out there who took issue with the previous title of this roundup, “Here’s Some Stories I Like.” I’ve changed it to the above title accordingly.
Alright, stories!
“I wanted to be an animal, so I let you pet me.” — At > Kill Author, “Like Paparazzi” by Ian Sanquist.
“A stray in the neighbourhood disappeared to have kittens, never to be seen again. Years later her father was renovating the porch and they found five tiny skeletons.” — At Corium, “Tabby” by Sabrina Stoessinger.
“I would stand near a finger in the back yard and he would stroke me, hoping that it made me happy, but just as often his touch would knock me down onto the patio or into the neighbor’s yard.” — At Vestal Review, “Hands and Gloves” by Judy French.
“She knelt in front of me and tugged on the wire from my chest to the car battery in my hands and said, “I told you you didn’t want a pool party.” — At Alice Blue Review, “Wire Chest” by Caleb Straight (via Fiction Daily.)
