Sometimes the short short story can be the best. More would be too much.
I agree, Mari. Although I also see what the reviewer is talking about in some stories I read. There are times when the story ends just when it is about to delve deeper. I like being left wistful and to bring my own conclusion, but in a whole collection from one author, I’d like them to take me all the way in and reveal their depths in some of the selections. Just because something is short doesn’t mean it should stop short of revelation. The best short shorts are brilliant at reaching the richer level in that tiny space.
