Start with a moment - a real moment. Hit all the main points, skip over anything extra, and leave everything else to the imagination. That is how a Long Story Short is made. Long Story Short... is a collection of incredibly short stories comprised entirely of real events and without embellishment. Long Story Short makes the average story amazing and an incredible story epic - all by leaving out the details. This year-long project which began online and has since changed the meaning of the phrase "Long Story Short" to all those who followed it over the course of the initial twelve months has now been compiled into this anthology of over five hundred tales, 150 of which have never been shared before.
