A huge number of posts about short stories
As time passed, I heard the word used in a wider range of conversations, including nifty evenings out, nifty concerts, and nifty songs. Even later, the word took on a more cultured definition in reference to poems, books, and, of course, nifty stories. Whenever I heard the word I assumed it meant something good, something attractive. However, it was only when I found myself using the word in my deion of my own stories that I needed to define it. Actually, it was a listener who called my material "nifty stories," and that comment sent me to the books.
