Small Intentions - by Robert Bires (Paperback)

About the Book Shrink the story, expand the possibilities!

Small Intentions rewards the reader with quick epiphanies about the choices of life in an expansive collection of humorous, ironic, and tragic stories.

Book Synopsis Small Intentions : one hundred stories comprised of one hundred words each, capturing the tiniest fractions of lives -the seen, the dreamt, the done or the undone, the once was or the might happen, the sweet, the iniquitous, the said or the meant, the regretted, the ridiculous, even the peaceful. Like flashes from a strobe, these stories, often with a mor- dant sense of humor, freeze, distort, and illuminate their characters before releasing them back into the larger whole of existence.
