A short story is a piece of prose fiction that can be read in one sitting. Emerging from earlier oral storytelling traditions in the h century, the short story has grown to encompass a body of work so diverse as to defy easy characterization. At its most prototypical the short story features a small cast of named characters, and focuses on a self-contained incident with the intent of evoking a “single effect” or mood.
Sebastian is a Londoner through and through. Apart from a few trips as a child, he's never left the city. If he had his way, he never would.
But then, on his 24th birthday, a group of friends challenge him to prove he's a real man by travelling to Devon to live and work on a smallholding for a whole week.
Lovers of Darling Buds of May or the James Herriot vet books will enjoy following Sebastian's life changing adventures in the village of Steepleford.
The questions of whether there is life after death and what it might be like, have been discussed and debated throughout history. There are so many conflicting answers suggested, it seems no one really knows.
