snow - a 100 word novel

As a child Dean tried to count snow flakes falling. He tried to photograph scenes in his head to count at leisure. He would end up staring so hard that the scene dissolved and he forgot how to see. He learned how to induce this this blindness but remain aware of what was around him so he could walk safely. Other children called him Zombie but Dean learned to hear things they would never notice. His first successful composition snowfut kamera consisted of an orchestra gently rubbing the bodies of their instruments or blowing on them as silently as possible.

dude, i'm really digging these condensed novels. you should try and get the published in a zine. Hell, I'm almost tempted to try and get one going just so they can be published. Actually, that's not such a bad idea. I'm gonna email you....
