Hello followers, it’s nice to see you all again.
So if you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know I’ve had this little side project going on called Numeric Stories which I describe on my about page like this:
Numeric Stories interprets life in short bursts of inspiration. Focusing on the ways different individuals think, Numeric Stories is all about flash fiction: telling a story in four sentences or less.
That’s only half the story though. You see when I started Numeric Stories I didn’t have a clear idea where I was going; I just sort of started numbering things with roman numerals because I felt like it.
As I progressed in the project though I took it as more of a thematic approach to writing in which numeric stories covered writings about certain topics and certain emotions in certain ways.
It wasn’t till recently that I realized I had the tendency to do something even better and that’s when I realized that I basically had created stories out of Numeric Stories without even meaning to.
That being said you’ve probably realized I’ve been posting more of Numeric Stories recently (I believe I posted some 3-4 yesterday) and the reason behind that is simple: as of today, Numeric Stories is finished. It’s complete; 100% over, there’s nothing else to add to it, nothing else I can do; I have officially finished the product.
That being said part two: there are currently I believe six stories hiding in the confines of Numeric Stories. They’re not numerically in order in the sense of I goes with II goes with III but the stories do go in increasing order (so IV would go after I in the story line if they were in the same story)
I could give you the order right now and be a pal and stuff but personally I’d rather see you try to hobble together the stories that exist in the jumble as I have realized that’s been my intention all along: to create stories where they don’t seem to exist; to create order from chaos.
It’s been a pleasure working on it and I can assure you that they do form six distinctive story-lines provided you expand your horizons into abstract thought just a tid-bit.
I hope you enjoy and I will probably in due time create a chart of what stories go where. Until then: happy hunting.
Sincerely,
Cole.
