Like reading stories but don't have the time to sit down and read a 300+ story and don't have the money to buy one if you could?
I know how you feel. These days it's hard to find even 30 minutes of free time to sit down, relax, and enjoy the comforts of some other existence on a page in a book. After all, there's alway so many other things you need to be or "should" be doing, right?
But luckily, not all good stories have to be long or have to be purchased. One of my favorite websites to go to when I'm bored is east of the web. They offer short stories (most less than 10 minutes to read) by both obscure and famous writers. Plus, you don't have to sign up for anything or pay anything, you just sit down and read. Sure, you don't have the comfort of turning a page, but you also have hundreds of writers and hundreds of stories to read from.
The site also has reader reviews for each story, so if you're not sure if you'll like it, you can check what other people have to say. It's a great site to find a new favorite writer. I did!
One of my absolute favorites on the site is Fernando Sorrentino, a writer from Buenos Aires who specializes in humour stories. The best is "Method for Defense Against Scorpions." It's so hilarious and crazy yet so believable at the same time that you'll want to think he really has defensive moves that he uses on the millions of scorpions living in his house.
Check out the site. It has stories to suit everyone's taste.
