Got a minute? Well...maybe three or four? Then step up and let me tell you a story that puts the FLASH in flash fiction. In today’s hurry-up world, we’re all frazzled by our jobs, families, and those dang domestic responsibilities. So who’s got time for something like a story? Right? Just give me those three or four minutes. I’ll prune away the flowery adjectives. Kill the adverbs and cut the story down to its roots. Then lay out a smack-in-the-forehead finish. Not EXACTLY an ambush, but about as close as I can come without losing my literary license.
