There is a niche for readers who like quick reads and for writers who love creating shorter than normal stories. A blog called, The Drabble, offers the challenge of writing fiction, non-fiction, or poetry of 100 words or less.
Give it a try.
My story was inspired by a co-worker in Branson Mo. who was a cave diver. One day he explained the dangers of going so deep into a dark cavern. “People have died because they didn’t plan for extra canisters of air to make it out.”
Horrified, I asked him why he’d risk his life like that. He smiled and said he couldn’t imagine a better way to die. “Just close your eyes and go to sleep. Very peaceful.”
The thought of cave diving still scares me. In my short, I wanted readers to experience both the fear and peace. Let me know how I did.
Here is my published submission called, Cave Diver.

I truly admire writers who can write such a short story and have it be whole and complete – beginning, middle, and end.

Thank you Kassy. Once you read a few from The Drabble site, you get the idea of what they choose.
From there, an idea might pop into your head.
