	'The business of invoking humanity': Barbara Gowdy and the Fiction Gone (A)stray (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Gowdy's stories turn on the axis which is at the centre of the grotesque and of the short story: the crisis is seen as paradigmatic of human experience.
		The short story exploits this lack of acquaintance in the characters' contact with the world, and in turn, may stimulate in the reader an awareness of a lack of acquaintance with the story and its characters, in opposition to the traditional novel, which exploits our intimacy with the fictional world it creates.
		The final scene of the story is not staged as a step forward in her life (she is, after all, on the right road to becoming 'normal'), but as a return, in a different role, to her childhood memories: a float in a parade, an insect being dissected.

		The ten-pace journey from bedroom to bathroom seemed a hundred yards, but they got there eventually, hoisting the body ungracefully into the bathtub and both winced at the hollow “thud-thud” sound it made as it hit the sides.
		The reason was to keep the local yobs out and from causing havoc with their nasty habit of dragging the worst of the rubbish and piling it up in front of the town mayor’s ten-bedroom mansion.
		Both Tim and Graham helped themselves to David’s sculptured body, while David himself was powerless, straining sometimes to escape the bonds.

	Amazon.co.uk: Books: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Dead Men Diaries: A Short Story Collection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The problem with an anthology of short stories written by different authors is that inevitably some will be much better than the others, and that each of them will be short.
		The best of ten stories on offer here is Kate Orman's "Steal From The World" which sees Benny returing to a planet that she searched for an ancient race on before and a planet on which she suffered a horific accident.
		It's main problem is that the short stories give it a stop-start approach and just as the reader is really getting into the story it ends before it has had a chance to develop fully.

	Online short story about exposure.
		Her companion in the sauna -- a swarthy middle-aged man with dark hair covering his body and the backs of his pudgy hands -- leaned across and sensuously towelled the sweat off her body, letting his hands linger on the more intimate parts.
		The young, under-age daughter of an international financier had fallen off his luxury yacht and drowned before anyone realised she was missing -- or that was the story he told the police, with a dozen influential witnesses to back up his statement.
		Pulling her topcoat closer around her body, she hid her face inside the large, windproof collar, and walked slowly away from that placid, clear water.

	A Small Life Story of Shakyamuni Buddha
		Even though this effort is less than a single hair on your body, by the offering of these small unceasing praises of your life, I ask that you grant your ceaseless blessings.
		Why should I trust this body and support it?" Then the prince saw a corpse and the relatives were surrounding it and grieving.
		May the beings of this smallest of praise raise the foundation of enlightenment for all beings and in reading this may you gain the confidence and wisdom, courage and strength to pursue your perfect dharma path.

	Short Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		If you had seen me while I still had possession of my vampiric body, you would have seen a normal 30-year old man. But, had you grown to know me, you would quickly have realized from any conversation that this could not be more false.
		As I felt the sensation pass, however, I whirled my body around and struck out blindly with my unnaturally fast arms--and then I connected suddenly with the shoulder of a wizened old man. The blow caught him unawares, and he spun into the air, crashing into the snow a few feet away.
		In short, I did as much as I could to make my body as inconspicuous as a six-foot, pure white (and I mean white, like paint) being could become.

		When I began reading "I Sing the Body Electric" I was a little worried that it wasn't up to the par of his other short story collections.
		In some stories, youth and old age are brought together, with childlike enthusiasm touching characters at all points during their lives.
		Stories like "Any Friend of Nicholas Nickleby's is a Friend of Mine" and "The Man in the Rorscharch Shirt" are so obvious and dull as to be difficult to finish reading.

	Short Story: The Miracle of Patience
		Though the passion of the water touched her body, but in harmony with the rapid pace of the heavy rainfall, she had to hurry too.
		She had to wash away the dust and rust from her body and soul as quickly as possible to grow new buds again, blossom again and grow her branches to greet the swallows again.

	A Short Story: Skeeks
		To one side of him sprawled in wanton stupor a reporter named Trixie, or so she claimed, while on the other side stood a half-empty — nothing in Boy's life was half-full — bottle of flat champagne and the squawking telephone.
		The pic of the body in the box was thus often a difficult and expensive proposition, with bribes to pay, bones to set, reporters to be bailed out of the slammer.
		Whenever there was a top-of-the-line story like this, the Galaxy's first move was to send a local stringer out to rent a house, a modest, plain, ordinary house in a modest, plain, ordinary neighborhood.

	Short Story: The Assassin
		At such temperatures, when the wind blows on unprotected skin, it causes the body's temperature to drop rapidly and its cells to freeze over.
		The class of the sword is that of "Cypher." It cuts through all objects by discharging a high-pressure plasma stream, and is the basic equipment of an A-class Strider.
		The assassin's armor wrapped his body in shiny green, his expressions masked by a yellow visor that allowed only a narrow slit of light to pass through.

	The ACG Short Story Collection
		If you cut off someone's head, the body would grow a new head - complete with blank brain - and the head would try to grow a new body, somewhat limited by the lack of tissues from which to build.
		There was usually a fully-grown body lying nearby, expression blank, arms slowly writhing in some kind of spinally-directed Tai Chi.
		If, for example, your body was impaled on a street-sign and was still reporting pain signals to the brain, it was a definite minus.
