Hundreds: 100 Poems & Short Stories - All 100 Words Each

By Matthew Brinkley

Love and longing. Freedom and loss. Faith and its absence. Heartbreak, death, creation, sacrifice. In this collection of precisely crafted microfiction and poetry, every word carries weight.

From a millennia-long battle between shapeshifting foes to a desperate message scrawled onto a church wall, from celestial beings quoting Thomas Hardy to quiet hopes of down-and-out pub goers, a vengeful bootlegger, a grieving parent, spilled funnel cake, and reignited stars, these 100 pieces explore the raw edges of human experience.

Each story and poem, exactly 100 words, is a fleeting moment - some tender, some brutal, some surreal, some joyful, some melancholic, some nonsensical, some shy, some cosmic.

A mosaic of voices, genres, and emotions, this book hopes to prove that brevity can be just as powerful as the longest tale.
