Flash fiction is a brief fictional narrative[1] that still offers character and plot development. Identified varieties, many of them defined by word count, include the six-word story;[2] the 280-character story (also known as "twitterature");[3] the "dribble" (also known as the "minisaga", 50 words);[2] the "drabble" (also known as "microfiction", 100 words);[2] "sudden fiction" (750 words);[4] "flash fiction" (1,000 words); and "microstory".[5]
Some commentators have suggested that flash fiction possesses a unique literary quality in its ability to hint at or imply a larger story.[6]
