Category:Flash Stories

Anansi suggested a contest for the best 'flash fiction'. Anansi explained that flash fiction is a complete story written in 99 words or less. Some places will say it is 55 words or less. We are going to use the 99 words or less criteria. The title is usually about 5 words or less as well.

It must have a setting, characters (usually one or two), conflict, and resolution. Also, there is usually a suggestion about where they are or what is going on without having to spell it out - especially since you don't have that many words to use.
