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.
