Concession - Three Short Stories
A collection of three thought-provoking short stories by I. M. GerhiStep into three engaging and compact stories-each under 1, 500 words-that explore social norms, cultural expectations, and the subtle compromises we make to fit into society. With sharp wit and keen observation, Concession offers a glimpse into everyday moments that are anything but ordinary. These stories are also featured in Night Light Tales: A Short Story Collection.
Way Up Here"Sometimes, such as now, the stands are more than half empty. The stadium sounds hollow with an intermittent lone cheer."A lone spectator in a vast stadium contemplates his place in the world. Does being a fan define us, or is it merely another societal expectation? A quiet but compelling reflection on identity, belonging, and the mundane distractions of modern life. The Bigger Tipper"Cindy lifted her coffee cup from the saucer.
Coffee dripped from the paper thingy stuck to the bottom of the cup. 'Really, how would you tip this?'"A simple coffee outing turns into an unexpected commentary on tipping culture, customer service, and the hidden power dynamics in the service industry. When Cindy shares a frustrating experience, Doris counters with a story that redefines what it means to "tip" in a world of bureaucratic absurdity.
Pressing Silence"It started with a chitter and a chatter and a rustle behind the shelves."For Mrs. Gericott, the library isn't just a place-it's her fortress. But when unruly visitors disrupt the peace, she devises an unconventional strategy to restore order. A wry and satisfying tale about the lengths one woman will go to in defense of her sanctuary. Perfect for readers who enjoy sharp, literary short fiction with a satirical edge.
