sarah984's review
3.0
This is a book of short stories entered in a competition where all stories are 1,000 words and must adhere to a two-word prompt: a character and an object/situation. It was interesting to see what people did with their prompts (especially people who got a bit of an odd one like "TV psychic") and the array of genres was really wide.
However, most of the stories felt pretty forgettable and there were a few embarrassing copy errors, including a story that appears to have been printed with the wrong prompt.
Top favourites: And One Hard One by Ezra Fox, A Hook Called Starlight by Bryan Arneson
