Over the last couple of days I have been engaged in various flash fiction challenges. For those unfamiliar with the genre, there are apparently five categories of flash fiction according to Reedsy. They are:
- Flash fiction: Max 1,500 words.
- Sudden fiction: Max 750 words.
- Drabble, or microfiction: Max 100 words.
- Twitterature: Max 280 characters.
- Six-word story: Any story with a single-digit word count is a category unto itself.
I have submitted two drabble or microfiction stories. I will share them here once they have been rejected by the editorial department.
Of course the most famous flash fiction is Hemingway's the six word story:
For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn.
