Write Your Shortest Flash Fiction. Not More Than 25 Words. by Divepen1(m): 6:29am On Sep 29, 2015 |
Authors believe it sweet to tweet stories. So, I started posting stories on my whatsapp status and it made sense. You can try it out. .Here's an example. Tunde jumped into the river and people said he was mad but when he returned with the drowning queen, he was called a hero. 34 Likes 1 Share |

OluwabuqqyYOLO: Divepen1: Wow, divepen, you have made me the authority on flash fiction.......lol, anyway... I actually get this. A lady proposed to a guy but he isn't sure because he believes she is a murderer as she had probably murdered someone before. It's quite easy to understand. Dive remember, I referred to your 'hypnotise' in that statement because I wasn't sure where it had come from, it was quit off from everything else. Anyway I saw this online, hope it helps. MARK BUDMAN, Editor of Vestal Review: Do: 1. Be concise without strangling your plot and characters. 2. Remember to deliver your message. No one likes empty envelopes. 3. Make your prose intense. You can’t burn the reader. 4. Learn from the birds. Tweet, tweet, tweet(er). 5. Use prompts to hone your skills. Don’t: 1. Go in circles. You don’t have room for that. 2. Try to wear many hats. Flash has space only for one or two. 3. Mince words. You are writing a flash and not making hamburger patties. 4. Be afraid to experiment. You don’t want to repeat what others have written. 5. Forget that flash is a story and not a poem or essay. http://www.thereviewreview.net/publishing-tips/flash-fiction-whats-it-all-about 4 Likes 2 Shares |

I was cold and here was she. I looked at her flesh then up her face. our eyes locked. I squeezed a breath and withdrew. . Mama edo and her tasty beans. She never cease to amaze me. I looked up my watch and jolted. I was late for my wedding! . The antelope was some metres away. I picked up my gun and aimed. Remember, breath slow and pull lightly. Yeah. I fired and home it went. . The class was so boring as the teacher kept on buzzing away. Something must be done, I reasoned. Soon I released a chemical bomb and the class melted. . "-my funds are engaged in a mountainous obligation. your mounting pleas cannot create pores in that wish," he concluded. My misery grew ten folds. . 1 or 2 is off the 25word margin. I could nt help it. 53 Likes 3 Shares |

Fantastic! Let me give it a try: Chris had climbed mountains and crossed seas, and now he stood before the man who'd murdered his daughter. He pulled the trigger without hesitation. Another one: It was a simple recon mission. But when the starship arrived, it destroyed Earth only because the captain's daughter felt Earth was too blue. 7 Likes |
