Piece Length: 1-100 words

“There was more room to think,” wrote novelist David Gaffney on becoming a flash fiction convert, “more space for the original idea to resonate, fewer unnecessary words to wade through.” Stories of the mini or micro variety distill the essence of fiction into small but powerful bursts. Celebrate the art of concision this month, dear writers, and write a story in 100 words or less.
