* * (Okay) Humor

Brevity in writing, according to topic (and Deb Olin Unferth).

I honestly don’t know if this counts as a story; it is much more of a list. I suppose you could argue that some of the topics in themselves, and the simple sentences used to expound upon them, could constitute a story. It does work as a bridge between the last story and the next. And there is humor here. An example of a brief Resolution (story ending): “Oh who cares what will become of them? They will die, that is all.”

It’s a type of humor I appreciate.

Let’s give it a try: Review – I read. I wrote that I liked, or did not.
