MicroFlashFiction - Short Stories and Experimental Narratives. '...my experimental approach to writing is suited to this medium...it's an odd kind of laughter sometimes...and it's always in the hidden places...(an ongoing series of) imaginative journeys into experimental fiction...' Writing Review, Q+A - 2024. Steve Coel
Here -
Where...failure becomes a habit..
Where...values are challenged and always disputed..
Where...machine winnings replace job prospects..
Where...happiness is solitary, forgotten and distant..
Where...teenage anger lasts long into retirement..
is the place language comes to die.

Timed Silence
Here-
Where...silence is timed..
Where...stern booted smiles are frequent..
Where...folded arm argument frames evening entertainment..
Where...car lights warn halt hooded debt collection..
Where...hi-rise threats are sprayed on dumpster and metal security door..
is the place language comes to die.
