Full of hooks, twists, and surprise endings, Twist of Fate is the author's response to Writers Digest's annual month-long challenge to write a piece of flash fiction every day for a month. February 2026 is his second year participating in the challenge, and this collection features new themes and perspectives.
A collection of thirty-one flash fiction short stories, each one is a thought-provoking snapshot that captures a different aspect of what it means to be human and elicits a wide range of emotional responses. Sometimes you'll laugh, and other times you'll sense a tear in your eye. Every time, the stories will resonate with something deep down inside.
By the way, flash fiction stories are typically no longer than 1,500 words and may be as short as the now-famous six-word stories, allegedly started by Ernest Hemingway.
