List: Flash Fiction and/or Vignettes

Flash fiction is fiction of extreme brevity. The standard, generally-accepted length of a flash fiction piece is 1000 words or less.


Vignettes are short, impressionistic scenes that focus on one moment or give a trenchant impression about a character, an idea, or a setting.
