Hey!
This is espresso stories, an idea by the writers Chris Worth and R.P. Bird. It
explores a literary form for today's frothed-up, on-the-hoof, want-it-all-now
consumer lifestyle: complete stories that take no longer to read than an
espresso takes to slurp.
The most basic rule is that they're just a sentence or two, totalling 25
words or less. Less hard-and-fast - but equally vital - are a theme, plot,
characters, and narrative development. Everything you'd see in any good
story - but short enough to fit into the time it takes to reach the bottom of
that bitter little cup, as you ponder on how even the briefest experiences
can make life more meaningful.
