A Hundred Words from a Civil War (short story)

A Hundred Words from a Civil War was the twelfth story of A Romance in Twelve Parts. It was a "drabbleplex", a story told in 100 100-word vignettes. While it was mostly written by Philip Purser-Hallard, it also had eleven vignettes written by the other contributors to A Romance in Twelve Parts.

A Hundred Words from a Civil War was the first story to focus on the City of the Saved Civil War, a conflict which began at the end of Purser-Hallard's novel Of the City of the Saved....

A Hundred Words from a Civil War united elements not just from previous City of the Saved stories, but also from The Faction Paradox Protocols, Short Trips, Bernice Summerfield, Iris Wildthyme, and all eleven previous short stories in A Romance in Twelve Parts. The story also introduced elements which were greatly expanded upon in future Faction Paradox and The City of the Saved stories, including Weapons Grade Snake Oil and Unification Theory.
