Collected Stort Shories (Journal of Experimental Fiction)

Fiction. Erik Belgum's COLLECTED SHORT STORIES have been called "ten of the stortest shories ever written" and has perhaps been best described as "ten randomly generated words: splization, clackosaphy, phummed, schlonimals, hormips, strthly, pfeelingloo, slullaby, coughpumpers, and neonderwear." These unkempt, evidence-based, often algorithmically generated stort shories record the recent changes in employee rules at Bigmart, answer some FAQs about buying your own death, accurately document the waterboarding of Garrison Keillor as well as the author's own repeated 103+ degree fevers. Then the fictional part begins! Arbitrarily created people. Classical supplements. Glowing transfers of information. There's even a radiation Christmas story in here. For strictly legal reasons, a Halloween affidavit rounds out the collection.
