Embroiled in the sweeping changes of nearly a hundred years, the characters in Captured Up Close: 20th Century Short-Short Stories reveal themselves in transitional and catastrophic times from "1912" to "1992." In the first story, a gender-bending vaudevillian aboard the Titanic defies death in an astonishing twist. In the final story, two women of different races let go of the rift that's grown between them while trapped inside a dry-cleaning store during the L.A. riots. Spotlighted through a personal lens, regardless of race, gender, or age, the characters breathe life into the era they lived in. Many of the stories are award-winning, including two nominations for the Pushcart Prize and one for Best of the Net Anthology.

"On September 6, 2004, with a simple click of a mouse, The World of Myth was born."That is what was written on the back of the very first anthology."Originally created to be a safe haven," it said. "...to polish their craft and share their ideas with each other. But it became more. Much more."As we present our fourth anthology to you, those words still ring true. What started as ten contributors has now grown to hundreds, a few stories, to thousands. This anthology, spanning three years of stories, poems, and drabbles, still offers the same excitement, the same polish, and the same thrill as that very first one.Inside these pages, you will find a variety of tales, ranging from humor to horror, fantasy to fiction, poetry and drabbles.Hairy noses will haunt you; bunnies will baffle you, and penance will be paid. Each piece will grab an emotion and you will experience the words as they come alive on the page. Some pieces will tear you open and expose your deepest emotions, and some will make you laugh until you cry.All will entertain you.Welcome to The World of Myth Anthology 4.
