1000 Words: A Collection of Short Stories
1000 Words is a collection of ten short stories, each approximately one thousand words in length.
They range from science fiction and fantasy, to adventure and horror. Each short story is accompanied by its own book cover. This was Stephanie Flint’s capstone project for an Honors College course, meant to merge photographic illustration with creative writing. As such, the main cover still has her maiden name, while the free short stories have been updated to her married name.
Later, she wrote Ashes, a sequel to Socks, which is a dystopian romance flash piece from 1000 Words.
