    It seemed like a good idea.
    Then she would run until morning to ease the ache; swifter than rain, swift as loss, racing to catch up with the time when she had known nothing at all but the sweetness of being herself.

    I remember I was first introduced to the super short story in one of my Spanish classes where we read "El dinosaurio" (The Dinosaur) by Augusto Monterroso. It read:

    Cuando despertó, el dinosaurio todavía estaba allí.
    When he/she awoke, the dinosaur was still there.

    According to my professor, it's as packed with meaning as any other story.

    Here's mine:

    Drink! It's not at all poisonous.

    i think this idea is very interesting, and i can see why hemingway thought it was his best story. i suppose all stories have a background which the reader must fill in with their imagination...
