(I really don’t know where to put this topic, but since this place is a hodgepodge of random topics put together, I’ll just leave this here)
What is flash fiction? In the broadest sense, it’s a very short story. The beauty in this kind of literature is in the things that are left unsaid. Flash fiction writers have no words to spare for backstories, descriptions and even names for their characters. This kind of literature is full of implications, thus one story having many interpretations.
There is no arbitrary length on one flash fiction story, but here, I’m setting the maximum number of words at 100 words. You can run it by Microsoft Word (or any other program that displays word count) if you’re too lazy to count.
