Flash Fiction is traditionally thought of to be stories that are 1,000 words or smaller. We do stretch that word count a little if the mood strikes us. The great thing about Flash Fiction is that these are satisfying stories packaged up in a bite size format. Great to read on the commuter train, during your lunch break at work, or while waiting for soccer practice to end.
In this issue we have 16 flash fiction stories from these authors:
