What is Flash Fiction??

Flash fiction is a super short story, in this case under 1000 words. We'd like you to create a scary/ creepy/ weird story (because they're fun!) though they don't have to have ghosts or monsters. Be creative and keep it simple. Think about stories you've read or seen and what makes them good. Draw on your own experience- tell us what scares you.

Pro Tip:

Stories must have a beginning, middle and an end.There ought to be some change in action or motivation of the characters. The reader should feel that there is some kind of plot resolution by the end of the story. An author must convey character and plot in a concise manner and make every word count.
