FLASH FICTION (by Jeff Robinson, Don Muchow, and Gill Schmidt)

Time for something DIFFERENT! Please enjoy this episode of FLASH FICTION sci-fi stories. These stories have been proven even more difficult to write, and write well, than our longer stories - as well as novels and novellas. Writing short stories is a challenge.

It is harder to write a very short story than a long one, because every word becomes important.

“Perhaps the best example of this is the “six-word story”. Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway won a bet by writing the six-word story. He wrote:

“For Sale: Baby shoes. Never worn.”

It is amazing how few words can generate such emotive force.

Since then, numerous competitions are held annually that challenge writers to produce such ultra-short stories.

Indeed, since 2000 Flash fiction has become a special sub-genre of science fiction that does not receive nearly enough attention.”
