Through a complex and rigorous program of exercise and the interleaving of flowers in the pages of books, they have graduated a huge number of Mighty Orphan Flower Pagers!

ReplyDeleteIf you haven't read Asimov's 100 Great Science Fiction Short-Short Stories (and the companion Fantasy volume) you're missing out. Isaac prefaces each story with a phrase or one-liner pun which only makes sense after reading the short-short. I thought of those books immediately after reading this post.
