Why bother wearing clothes to work? How do you murder someone with a board game? Is bird poo really lucky? Can you redraw your life after grief? And what really is the incredible true story about space? Adam Stones was challenged to write a short story of exactly 900 words each month. Three years later, the challenge was complete and the result is this collection of tiny tales that answer some of life's biggest questions. From sweary fables and ghost stories to science fiction and modern fairy tales, and from hilariously bewildering Pythonesque parodies to heartbreaking stories of love, you'll find it all here, often in emotionally-testing proximity. Whether you're stuck in a queue or on the loo, have it with you at all times and consult whenever in need of delight or distraction.
