Category: Very Short (2-3 min)

These two- to three-minute stories are made for nights when there is time for one small idea. A character may find a puzzle piece, follow an autumn splash or learn why a noisy habit bothers the forest. Simple plots and quick endings keep the read manageable without reducing it to disconnected sentences. Participation and picture talk can make any selection last a little longer.
