I Read Stories: Bad News by Jeff Friedman

 

Bad News by Jeff Friedman in Gooseberry Pie

Gooseberry Pie is an online litmag where every story has exactly six sentences. How to write reviews of such constrained writing, when I might do better to not waste your time with my thoughts and just point you at it? As well to summarise a haiku?

Yet I persist. This story does not tell us the nature of the Bad News (there is always bad news of all sorts). It tells us how it arrives, and how it effects us. The nature of the Bad News on us, and the world.
