China Doll - Nailpolish Stories

I've mentioned before how much I love the idea of Nailpolish Stories, A Tiny and Colorful Literary Journal, where all the stories are exactly 25 words and are named for nailpolish colors.

Perky and innocent names, like "China Doll," can go in a very different direction in the hands of, well, someone like me.

  1. Loved what you did with "China Doll". I don't as a rule wear *that* much nailpolish so I might need to research some colors...
