• About

  Big Story Small explores a world of shorter forms of fiction. It celebrates storytelling that is precise and energetic, that plunges readers into the narrative, then hauls them out so quickly they’re left gasping.

  • I take time answering. She takes my delay for rudeness. Who’ll tell Danny, I say. She drops my hand - Maybe this isn't such a great idea.. >> RELEASED ... 6 years ago
  • A scream in the laneway spills into the noise of the traffic and is lost. Footsteps. Running. Slowing at the corner. Turning into the crowd.. >> RELEASED ... 6 years ago
  • Cops found no shells. No bullets. Nothing. No witnesses. But the magpie above saw. Watched Lester go down then took trinkets for its nest.. >> RELEASED ... 6 years ago
  • Then, while their druid was away, the village’s stores of potion ran out. Tragic. The rest, as the bard predicted, would become history.. >> RELEASED ... 6 years ago
  • The sign said 'wilderness beyond this point'. Wondering what it would say from the other side, I dropped my backpack and walked towards it.. >> RELEASED ... 6 years ago
