This collection of 10 short stories from renowned Gibraltar writer Rebecca Calderon is unusual in that each tale is exactly 1,000 words. The annual writing competition, organized by the Gibraltar Government, strictly limits the entries to 1,000 words, which Rebecca has very artfully mastered and honed over the years. The stories in this volume offer the listener a sharp and poignant glimpse into a variety of worlds, eras, and situations. Like the trailers for longer novels, they hook the listeners and leave them wanting for more.

Set in a bygone era of the early ‘90s with no mobile phones, email, or sat nav, three single young women decide to leave England and embark on a continental road trip. They save up some cash, buy an old Renault 5, and get on the ferry to France two days before Christmas, much to the amusement and disdain of family and friends. Over the course of the next six months, the car becomes their home while they travel to France, Andorra, Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, and Portugal, meeting colorful characters and experiencing good old-fashioned sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll.
