Shirt Pocket Stories, Volume 1: Pirouette

With inspiration from Feneon's Novels in Three Lines, I've begun devising my own little "novels." In truth, my stories do tend to run longer than Feneon's--I'm only limited by what I can fit on half of a 3x5 card. I fold the note card to make a little book, and slip the volume into one of Benjamin's shirt pockets.

Pirouette

Cranberry Maine laughed when the branches creaked high above her head. She danced when the elm swayed in a mighty wind. But she fell, limp and pale, her face pressed to the dirt, when the muttering Puppenmeister slashed her tree-tangled strings with a knife.

I love this Stephanie. You make every word count, and therefore every word is powerful.
