Five Minutes Fiction

by Carol Wills

This is a collection of nine very short stories, some funny, some thought provoking and some just downright silly. New Neighbours, will make you laugh. Subliminal Mind is what can happen to the mind when confronted with trauma. Mamma Knows Best and New Pastures will raise a chuckle and are true ‘Flash’, less than 120 words each. Be Careful What You Wish For, is about Janie a thoughtless teenager and the consequences of her actions. Invasion is about Masie and her family running for their lives as their world is relentlessly destroyed. Male and Female Coupling is something that happens to technophobes everywhere. And finally, Walk Don’t Stagger and Teaching Chickens are downright silly ‘Flash’

I enjoyed Five Minute Fiction and was looking for more when I got to the end.
Carol Wills is a very funny lady; my favorite in this book is the story of the New Neighbors, but the rest of the stories are equally funny.

Her ability to lead the story in one direction (in our thinking) and then twist it to something surprisingly different and funny is amazing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to laugh and especially if your life is fraught with busyness, you will still have time to read, laugh, and will not be disappointed.

I truly want to re-iterate especially now that I've seen imitations of your work Carol:

Wills is the Queen of Flash Fiction. In this collection of stories for those on the run, there will be at least one for anyone but I bet, like a box of chocolates, one won't be enough - I enjoyed all and am always on the look out for her stories flash or children's - she even has a bird story in here but...I'll let you find it and be surprised!
