1621

, , , 10:40 PM

Let's talk short fiction: Timothy McSweeney's website has a wickedly humorous collection of short (they'll take you five minutes each to read) imagined monologues. The monologues themselves are delightful, though I found myself laughing even more at the random titles. A few of my favorites (both in title and in substance):

"I Am the Invisible Thing That Holds Together the Two Halves of a Compound Word."
By Ben Greenman

"We Are Going to Turn This Fake Christmas Tree Into an Art Piece So I Don't Have to Haul it Down to the Basement Again."
By Lily Langerud

"A Father Tells His Eight-Month-Old Son to Scatter His Ashes On Top of All the Places That This Asshole He Knows From Work Is Going to Have His Ashes Scattered."
By Christopher Geno

"It Was I Who Flipped Over the Risk Board Last Night."
By Colin Nissan
