Flash
Fiction:
also called "sudden fiction," "micro fiction,"
"postcard fiction" or "short-short fiction,"
is a sub-genre of the short story characterized by limited word
length. There is no "official" or exact word limit,
but flash-fiction stories are generally less than 2,000 words
long, and tend to cluster in the 250- to 1,000-word range. Occasionally,
stories under 1,000 words are categorized as "Flash"
and those 1,000-2,000 are described as "Sudden."

I
have chosen to include two flash pieces here that are of special
purpose. In addition to being wholly separate pieces in their own
right, they depict in greater detail a moment that occurs in a larger
short story that has been written.
The
Comfort of Snow
Behold
the Pale Stranger
Unfortunately,
the fact that I am still trying to get other flash fiction pieces
published precludes me from making them available here.
