Dictionary Of Moments is an online collection of micro fiction.
The aim is simple: To create an online dictionary where you look up a word and rather than find its meaning you discover a short story inspired by that word.
Check back frequently as new stories will be posted regularly.
If it’s all a little overwhelming, relax and use the ‘let the Dictionary decide’ tool.
Be sure to click on the story titles and favourite them if you enjoy them! The most favoured stories will be listed under the Reader Fav’s tab.
If you are interested in becoming a part of the project please click the Submissions tab on the navigation bar above, you will find all the information you need there.
