What is Flash Fiction? It's fun. It's challenging. For writers, it is an exercise in rewriting and editing. It is a short short story.
All flash fiction includes the classic story elements: protagonist, conflict, obstacles or complications, and resolution. The brevity of this genre often forces some of the story elements to be implied or unwritten in the storyline.
This 6-word flash by Ernest Hemingway is an example of extreme flash fiction:
"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
