The idea of microfiction goes back to Aesop, I guess. But under various names (most famously 'flash fiction'), it's become hugely popular over the last decade or so. Folks think it's easy ... same way they think poetry is easy. Think again.
My favourite piece of microfiction -- attributed to Hemingway, but nobody really knows -- runs to only half a dozen words and tells a full and tragic story.
For sale. Baby Clothes. $5. Unused.
Cheers. Neil
