Welcome to “Getting It Twisted,” an anthology of 62 stories where the ordinary is not necessarily what it seems. This collection of short stories will take you on a tour through a range of human experience and emotion.

There is no common thread. Each story is a thought-provoking snapshot that captures a different aspect of what it means to be human and elicits a wide range of emotional responses, each one a testament to life’s quirky surprises and shifts—those moments when everything we thought we knew gets twisted.

The collection is a comment on the elasticity of life—a reminder that the unexpected often carries profound truths. A place where getting things twisted might just be the beginning of understanding.

By the way, flash fiction stories are typically no longer than 1,500 words and may be as short as the now-famous six-word stories allegedly started by Ernest Hemingway.
