Volume 3 of Unfinished Tales and Short Stories
In Unfinished Notes on Silence and Sound, the third volume of the Unfinished Tales and Short Stories series, Tony Eetak invites readers to inhabit the “gaps”—the quiet pauses, the shrugs, and the lingering moments between days that define the most real parts of our lives.
This collection rejects the idea of a clean narrative exit, opting instead to capture the “fragmentary nature of memory” through stories that are purposefully messy. From the “erratic flicker” of city lights to the “ancientness” of a Winnipeg winter that never seems to thaw, Eetak explores the weight of things that remain in pieces.
Published by the Arts Incubator Winnipeg and Art Borups Corners storytelling clubs, this latest collection centers on a version of “resilience” that doesn’t need to shout, finding grit in “day-to-day acts of care” and the work people do long before they gain an audience. More than just a series of short stories, this volume serves as a “shared space” and a direct “invitation” to the reader to imagine what comes after.
A project done entirely for fun, these short stories build on digital literacy and storytelling programming started in summer 2025, the stories are left intentionally unfinished, requiring the reader to act as a collaborator by imagining what comes next and filling the spaces between the lines with their own imagination. Dedicated to those still “tuning themselves” between silence and sound, this work honours the songs we carry much longer than we ever play them.
