Some say that you need at least four to six words to write the world’s shortest story. But, I took only one word that too made of two letters. The book has an apt explanation of the story as well as the pics of the Record where it is mentioned.
That’s a lotta words in service of a TWO-LETTER story.
So it’s shorter than the world’s shortest fan-fiction?
If you have to explain your art (and a novel counts as art), it’s not good art.
