Can you tell a story in 100 words? Here are a few of Jimmy Doom's tiny tales. (eu.freep.com)

I can't believe Doom can tell a story in only 100 words! 🤣 Just kidding, Jimmy!

[Jimmy] Doom is a writer, actor, bartender and all-around character who has posted a piece of new, original fiction on Substack for 813 straight days.

These three dare-I-say "tweet-sized" stories are so brief that I won't quote from them; you gotta read 'em for yourselves! What's worse is I wish they'd have reprinted at least three more! Whattsamatter, Freep? Couldn't spare the page real estate? The cost of ink too high? Jimmy Doom, the inventor of potato-chip lit!

I will say I've always liked Doom and his writing; I'd met him many years ago around the time I was looking to put a print magazine and was more-than-pleasantly surprised when he submitted a piece. Jimmy Doom…he's got a charm all his own.
