The Pursuit of Pain
She knew what he needed
When the whips, handcuffs, and paddle no longer elicited cries or screams, she recounted the stories he had told her about his childhood.
I enjoy writing one-sentence stories. They’re challenging and fun. The mission is always the same: to capture somebody’s life in the space between the first letter and period.
My short stories have a new home on Substack. I’d be delighted if you hopped over and took a look. You can also subscribe to my free fiction newsletter, in which I publish a new story every week.
