27 two-line stories!!
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on - Robert Frost
When life’s learning can be summed up in three words, why not a short-story be summed up in a line or two? Everything in this world has become fast and many do not like to read pages of description. Long descriptive “How are you? mails” have now changed to short “hru? FB messages”. So, I just tried to convey a message of a short story in maximum three lines. I'm making a first attempt. Hope you like at least some of it.
