This album has tiny stories in all shapes and sizes, images and texts alone or combined. I wanted to have the album in a manageable size, so I had to make some heart-wrenching cuts. It was so hard to choose out of the many many great tiny stories out there! Hope this will be of use :)

I've trapped your scent in a suitcase under my bed with clothes I can't wear anymore.

Sweet bird - Can you not fly? Do you not fear me? For I'm the collector of winged souls.  And once I've gathered enough of you, I soon shall be an angel too.

Here's trying to hit two birds with one stone - although I think I just grazed one and the other is in denial about being a bird in the first place. Sigh. Damn metaphors.

People are like Rorschach inkblots –
open to infinite interpretations
but, impossible to unravel
with their murky truths bleeding at the edges

Silence

An illustration for aimeecanto's tiny story 'Silence!'


'He wanted to scream to the world how much he loved her, but they were at the library, so he whispered.'


The way I pictured it with them hiding behind a book and being surrounded by books, I figured that it may as well be in a Library of Tiny Stories.

Whenever their song began to play,


Their wrinkles vanished, they lost the grey.


An unacknowledged truth, it seems:


Radios are time-machines.

A raindrop doesn't know it falls,
it doesn't know it dies.


A raindrop lives a happy life,
because it thinks it flies.

Some call it narcissism, some call it self-acceptance.


I can, upon request, upload the paper I used to draw on for use as a texture, as well as a clean, black and white version of the drawing.

The kittens wore mittens,

The fox wore socks,

The leopard wore a leotard,

Thus, highlighting the phonetic unpredictability inherent in the English language.

The moon, in June,




Complains, with gloom,




That the sun comes out too soon.
