"The Truth Is An Illusion" up at Postcard Shorts

I have a short piece, entitled "The Truth Is An Illusion" up now on Postcard Shorts.

Postcard Shorts is a cool site, with stories up to 1500 characters accepted and printed in a postcard format. It has a nice look to it and some really great flash fiction within the site. Have a look and see what you think - the submission guidelines are here.

A big thank you to the editor, Richard, for the quick response and acceptance.

A thought-provoking story, Paul. A well written piece of writing where you set the scene very well indeed. Well done, mate.

It is a very good looking site. I may send something in myself.

A well written piece of horror! I think I felt a bit of bile rising in my own throat when I read the line about the note being NAILED to the poor woman's chest. I found myself hoping desperately that the note had been attached after her death, not before, but I fear the opposite was true. Oh wait! It's fiction, right? RIGHT??

David - the truth is always whatever we want it to be. Glad you liked it. I recommend the site, too. Quick response.

Z - Of course it was fiction...what do you take me for? Now, how do I get those splinters out...? :)

Killer story Paul. Could be the beginning of something bigger. Also the postcard format is cool.

Congrats! Fantastic story, too.

EC said...

Excellent stuff, Paul! I really liked that one—chilling, with a cryptic ending, and you led up to it with just the right amount of back-story.
Fine penning!

I like the depth and how you use horror as your tool to take us down to that very last line. Loved it.

The form of the postcard gives a unique feel. Classy site. Hope you are well!
