In October 2017 I came across an internet blog challenge for a story written in two sentences. I wrote a story. Liking the format, I did another one. Another one. And another.
Quite a few stories later, I had enough for a book. Not only did I have stories, but I had written a short poem and created a brush and India ink illustration for each one as well.
The result was Minuscule, published in 2018. I’m now going to show you the book illustrations as an ongoing feature on this blog, once a week. I’ll link back to the story (they have been published one by one on my poetry blog).
If you want to hold the entire book in your hand, the print version is available on Amazon.
Today’s story is”Crossroads”. Read it here.
I remember this story about the polite bank robbery. The illustration is perfect in capturing that calm interaction between the two female characters.
From my childhood and my father’s job as a bank manager, the biggest fear was getting robbed (never happened to my dad).
Excellent !
Thank you!
I too remember this piece. And the bank is still a crossroads for many types of interactions. (K)
Yes, Not like it used to be (caveat – my father was a bank manager and I also worked in banking, so I have 50+ years to look back on) but always there is that interaction…
