What is flash fiction?

Flash fiction is a bite-sized story for the sound bite age. It often contains the classic story elements: protagonist, conflict, obstacles, complications and resolution. However, unlike a traditional short story, this brief form often leaves some of these elements unmentioned. There is often a twist in the tale and stories which involve humour or surprise work particularly well.
