Lee Barnett gave other writers, and readers of his blog, a simple challenge... to challenge HIM.He requested: "reply with a title (no longer than four words) about which you'd like me to write a fast fiction of exactly 200 words, along with a word you want me to include in the tale." And the challenges arrived: Stories with titles like "She Killed Me Twice", "The Brain That Exploded", "The Pachyderm Wore Pink" and "Single White Fee Male" with words like "ranunculus", "vaginate" and "carronade".300 stories later, here for the first time in print are 180 of the best.

"He makes you wonder about the inside of his head"
And whether knows something we should all have known last year.
I highly recommend the stories on pages 53 and 137 - no they're not my own challenges, and yes, some of mine are in there. Budgie can go from dark and brooding to light-hearted at the twist of an anvil. The reader is trained by the 10th page to expect nothing less than the twisty little passages of a rat maze where only the flavour of the cheese at the end is unknown - only to discover an entire strawberry shortcake! By the way, Budgie's tagged that maze with lots of interesting graffiti - it's a good re-read, too.
This book deserves interesting bookmarks, not folded corners or torn bits of paper or sticky notes.
