Very short fiction
Microfiction
Aka Minute Tales
These are very short stories, usually 250 words or fewer. I call them Minute Tales because they are minute in size and can usually be read in about a minute.
It is a small joke, but also the point. The pieces here are brief by design, written to do what they can in a small space without becoming scraps or fragments.
