Tiny Molecules, Issue 10

Kismet is an unusual thing.

This latest piece is a collection of tiny stories (<300 words each) connected by a similar theme that circles around, well, high school chemistry.

The headings for each piece are derived from the periodic table. The first two letters of a character’s name is an element and their age is the atomic number for that element. But then, and this is where the kismet part comes in…the chemistry connection didn’t just end there. This little collection found a home at a very fitting place called Tiny Molecules.
