Imagine this: coming downstairs on a winter's morning to find that someone has shoved a tiny comet through your letterbox. Unwanted celestial light has faded the dado rail and a montage of family photographs is all askew from the eccentric orbit that it's assumed, on an axis from the umbrella stand to the cloakroom door.
Extract from runner-up ‘Discovering a Comet’ by Pauline Masurel.
Discovering a Comet and More Micro-Fiction contains the winning entries from Leaf Books’ 2008 micro-fiction competition. From tiny comets invading your airing cupboard to still life paintings that refuse to come alive to, in Freda Love Smith’s winning story ‘Jesse and Jesus’, questions that refuse to be answered but ask you to love them all the same, it’s essentially just a bumper assorted collection of total brilliance.
