    About this ebook

    Many years ago, I embarked on a project to write one thousand of extremely short stories. The idea was if one was to watch a train pass by at great speed, one would see a lot of people and possible stories. I filled up quite a few steno pads with these very short glimpses. We made one thousand copies of this book and put them out into the world. It is available now for the first time in over twenty years, via e-book. Fans of what I do may find it of interest. -- Henry Rollins
