Today's selected story is two sentences long. And the sentences are made to work so hard, but with a seeming lack of effort, that certainly one should wonder if this is poetry or prose. Right now, it's categorized as flash fiction, but seems more of the imagist camp, of the William Carlos Williams club. Regardless.
Were every sentence in fiction so well built, like the architecture of a ballerina's extended leg, well, then, that would be lovely.
The story also was selected as part of the annual Wigleaf series, which is aimed at collecting the best flash fiction published in a given year, and where she discovered this.
