Notes on Being Human

Barbara Brutt

Forty-nine microfiction stories and poems that explore the human existence across the spectrum of love, self-discovery, conflict, and loss.


Each thoughtfully crafted story opens the door to universal truths and heart-twisting emotions. In "The Art of Being Human," meet Talia as she realizes she's been living life on everyone else's terms, and in "Tied Tight," relive the hug of a lost loved one. Laugh as you read "I wonder what would happen if you drank it." And lastly, step into a poignant exchange between a mother and her daughter of "I'm keeping a promise to myself."


Every scene invites you into your own memories, even as you experience stories of friends, families, mothers, and lovers.
