On a cold September morning in 2003 Ziv Navoth woke up, stared into the blank screen of his computer and wrote for 30 minutes. He did this for the following 146 days. The result is Nanotales—83 stories with attention deficit disorder. The nanotale is a quick fix that guarantees to transport readers into another world and back in 7 minutes. Like any good drug, the results can be pain, panic, euphoria or ecstasy, depending on the story.
