Description
THE PAIN OF PERFECTION – 299 WORD SHORT STORY
This might be the shortest story you’ll find on Amazon. It is the story of a man who: practices Tai Chi, lives in the city, does Tai Chi in a public park, is not supportive of the people he is with (Dim Sum to them), thinks Tai Chi has something to do with his toe, is self-conscious, easily made the fool. That’s it. For a buck you’ll find something humorous in the telling.
