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.”
