Microfiction break: Farsight III

My M.O. for microfiction is to write a three or four paragraph non-linear story, where the climax of the story isn’t shocking when you read it because you lack the context to understand its significance. This way, when you re-read the paragraphs, you see what they really mean, and get to appreciate them in a new light. I also like them to be a little bit of a riddle, so that words are few, but meaning is dense.

Here is the link to a new microfiction story of mine, Farsight III. Hope you enjoy it.

This is my favourite of my microfiction compositions, which I wrote shortly after reading ‘The Big Sleep’ by Raymond Chandler, a truly excellent American Crime novel. Check it out! Also, if neither of these stories make any sense to you, leave me a comment so I can improve them.
