The Job

by Jenni O'Connor

The clack of computer keys fills the room; quiet, busy and studious. A muted giggle erupts; an email joke someone chooses not to share. Papers are shuffled, reports generated; a strident voice echoes down the phone. Sounds of stifled bitching, sandwich munching; an identity lived or a slow, living death?

Jenni O'Connor is an aspiring novelist with one travel novel and one thriller under her belt; she lives in hope of these being published and meanwhile spends her spare minutes writing flash fiction to keep her brain cells moving!

Welcome to The Pygmy Giant.
Make yourself at home.
You might think of this as an e-magazine, a Forum, a poetry slam, or a sticky table in the corner of a dingy pub.

Whichever you prefer, this is a place for British flash fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and pretty much anything else under 800 words. Giant works of literature in their concise clothing.

Why just British stuff? Because flash fiction on the web is dominated by our American cousins, and while that's not a terrible thing, we'd like to hear some of the small and powerful voices of Blighty. So read, enjoy, leave some (polite) feedback for the writers, and send us your stuff!
