About Thaddeus Clute: A Gripping and Humorous Flash Fiction Short Story by Karen Court:
A well-crafted short story should be able to pack a lot of information into just a few words and sentences. Adroitly handled, the first paragraph should suggest a full, rich scenario that is rounded out by the reader’s existing perception of the problem that is revealed. The reader can easily imagine what is going on around the main character just from the few words they are given.
In this short story, an unemployed man desperately seeking work is forced to play a grim game of cat and mouse with his creditors, who are closing in.
It is a scintillating snapshot of the real life struggles that too many of us get to face at some point in our lives. The reader will relate to how the character is feeling and understand his actions and his responses, just as if they were caught in the same situation.

Author Bio:
I have been a storyteller since I was very young. Only, back then it was just called telling lies.
My active and vivid imagination was regularly and systematically crushed or ridiculed. Fortunately, however, strict parenting and rigid social norms failed to extinguish the urge in me to create my stories as I grew older.
Spinning a tale that delivers emotional growth, challenges to overcome, triumphs and humor has always fascinated me. The tale must weave as many of these facets as possible into a rich tapestry of fiction for a wide audience to consume and enjoy.
I think, building a story from brief scenes and scattered parts that start to come together into a smooth-flowing whole is both exciting and rewarding. And to share that finished piece of written art with other people for their enjoyment is the ultimate reward
