Short Fiction

The best definition of the ‘short story’ is that it is like a window that is opened on a scene not necessarily at the beginning, and that it is closed not necessarily at the end. But we see enough to understand, to get the flavour, to experience a distillation of an element of human life. Here is the busy person’s ideal way of staying in touch with that desire for ‘the story’ and for the satisfactions that good writing always brings.

Primal Night by Maja Kriel

That was how it had been with her marriage.

Say ‘yes’ and the road would take you. Say ‘yes’, say ‘yes’. The road had taken him right through to the end of his life and she had completed the circle with him.

It had been rugged in places and the tyres had worn thin. But in the end it had been a complete journey. A lifetime.

A shared incarnation. She had said ‘yes’ and travelled with him to the last breath. There is a last. She had been with him. And then her incarnation continued without him.

The Pursuit of life by...

These stories are about humanity in action and are characterised by a sparkling literary style.

They tell about love and hate, the persecution of children, the joys and clumsiness growing up, memory, bereavement, and the triumphs and sorrows of old age.

There is plenty of irony and humour in the telling, but also moments of real tragedy where, in a few words, the enormity of the situation is given life and, we are told to pursue life despite its sting.
