Flash fiction describes a very short story which should end with a twist, a surprise, perhaps even a shock. Creating one hundred word flash fiction stories is a passion of mine. If my original story begins with a word count over and above the one hundred word limit, I edit, and edit, and edit. The story always sounds better when I’ve done that. I suppose these stories could also be described as micro stories, flashes. I hope you enjoy them. Oh, and when the story first presents itself to you, please hide the last line with your hand, a piece of paper...whatever. We all need a surprise now and then.
