FLASH FICTION

10 – 50 Word Stories

There are many interpretations of what flash fiction is but the definition I will use on this site is:

  • Title: up to six words
  • Text: 10 – 50 words
  • Comprises a story with a beginning, middle and end (explicitly in the title, text and/or strongly implied)

On this page I will present some of my flash fiction and give a bit of an analysis of how each one can unfold out into a fuller story.

I’m not working on any at the moment but I would love to do some shorter novellas on things like Richard Willow’s time in the watch and perhaps a Harbinger story. Also, if they take off, there is plenty of scope for sequels!
