I entered a 500-word flash fiction contest last month and was named one of their top entries. (They don't award 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, but identified their top six stories and mine was one of them.) My story is the fifth from the top. Note that they give you specific rules for some things that have to be included in the story:

I’m listening to Killers of the Flower Moon. It’s about the Osage Indian murders. It is really good.

Side note. Will Patton read part of it. He’s surprisingly good reading.

Same author did the Wager which is about pirates which is about sailing ship that went sideways. Those always entertain me.

If you have 60 hours, Rise and Fall of the Third Reich is really damn good. It’s long, but not laboriously so. And there really isn’t a ton that should be edited out. It’s written by a journalist that was stationed in nazi Germany at the time.

There is some pretty profound stuff in there.

I actually have lol. I'm such a WW2 geek.

Geez... I just realized I started another one of his books this week too. "Berlin Diary" I'm only a little ways in, but it's great so far. You should check it out.

I'm flattered. I've never been the inspiration for a short story before...

I read The Road a handful of years back and swore off Cormac McCarthy ever since. The story was good, though bleak as all hell, but I just couldn’t stand the dude’s writing style.
