Fences Fly By

Today's blog post, "Fences Fly By" focuses on a piece of flash fiction. Flash fiction is just another way of saying very short fiction. Depending on who is doing the defining, flash fiction is usually defined as fiction under 500 or 1000 words.

I picked today's piece because it a) contains some very nice writing and b) captures place well. Also, I admit it; I'm biased. The third reason I chose today's piece, by Salvatore Pane, is that it's set in Pittsburgh, which is where I'm from.

Today's piece is partially set at a restaurant in Bloomfield, which is on the East End of the city. Here's a picture of that restaurant, the Church Brew Works.



What do you think of today's piece? Does it grab you? Does it move you? Why, or why not?
