Aboard a mysterious ship, a drunken sailor tells an impossible tale, but he's not the only one. There's a mugger out there who can take more than money, a couple who just spotted something terrifying on a dusty highway, a woman preparing to vault into the monkey enclosure, and a little girl who insists that a performing elephant isn't what it appears to be.

In his debut collection of flash fiction, Robert Wood presents 100 stories, each told in exactly 100 words. Every word counts in these strange tales, where you'll laugh at the unseen life of worms, gasp at a father's deathbed confession, wince as a student leans just a little too far back in her chair, and discover why it's finally time for the world's greatest pianist to retire for good.

Including multiple instances of time travel, creation myths, and pigs on picnics, The False Elephant (and 99 Other Unreasonably Short Stories) contains at least one thing you've never read before. Roll up, roll up, and try your best to ignore the growing suspicion that there's more going on than meets the eye. After all, what could happen in a hundred words?

Includes the Just 100 Words prize-winning 'One Gold Coin' and '13 Words'.
