We got an exclusive interview with the author J.David Stevens and got the chance to ask him some questions about his newest short story “The death of the short story.” 

“What was your thoughts before you began writing this short story?”

Well, I had this idea. When a celebrity dies an uproar happens around Hollywood, people suddenly strive to give their utmost condolences to the deceased. 

“Why did you personify the terms, in the short story?”

I personified the different genres to represent the characters that pops up every time a celebrity die. 

“Why choose Short story as your main character?”

Because short stories are often read but are not the center of attention. When something suddenly happens to that person either a scandal or death, the spotlight lands on that person who was once under the radar of attention. 

“Why did you choose to kill the Short story?”

To show how important a short story is, you read it all the time, but it gets no credit. And when something suddenly dies, you begin to appreciate the genre you once found insignificant.  

“Why did you choose to make the death of the Short story negative in the public eye instead of positive?”

Because as I mentioned earlier, I wanted to cast some light on the fact that when someone you had listened to or read about and taken for granted and they suddenly die, you will be missing that person.
