Just a Little Blurb The author smiled at the words on the back of the book as they sighed. “What’s the matter,” inquired she. There was a hint of tears in the voice as the words replied, “I’m just a little blurb. I’m not strikingly beautiful, like the artwork on the front cover. I’m not charming, compelling, thought provoking or have a lesson to teach, like so many of the stories and poems within this book, the first installment of your Fairy Tale Flash Fiction Collections. Who would pay any attention to me, back here, all alone?” A twinkle came into the author’s eye. “Aw, little one, cheer up! You don’t even know your own worth and value. For you see, after a quick glance of the title upon the front or spine, you are the first thing the consumer reads! It is you to which everyone turns to understand the contents within, and even to understand my own heart better. ‘Just a little blurb’? Nonsense! Without you, we would all be lost. Why, you see, even in your own lament, you have unknowingly done your job well!” The blurb smiled and lifted itself a little higher. How good it is when we understand that we have value and a place on this earth that only we can fill!
