Flashing O. Henry: 62 Original Flash Fiction Tales of Wit, Wonder, Wordplay, and Surprise

What happens when the wit, wordplay, and surprise of O. Henry collide with the strange, funny, poignant world we live in today? In Flashing O. Henry, Ronan O. Kelly offers 62 original flash-fiction stories about people caught in moments that seem ordinary—until they aren't. Jackson can’t keep a dog because of allergies. After an exhaustive search, his parents finally find the perfect match. Or so they think. The books at Giovanni’s cost thousands. But the customers aren’t really paying for books—and Giovanni knows exactly what they want. After years of waiting tables, Martin finally gets his big acting break. His commitment to the role may be a little too convincing. Funny, poignant, mischievous, and occasionally dark, these are stories about love, friendship, ambition, memory, luck, loss, and the wonderfully unpredictable ways our lives unfold. Short stories. Big turns. A little O. Henry for the modern world.
