ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Flash fiction

Flash fiction is a very short story that is only a few hundred words long. Imagine you are telling a story to your friends, but you only have a few seconds to tell them everything that happened. That is what flash fiction is like, telling a story in as few words as possible. It's like a tiny story that packs a lot of meaning and emotions. These stories are often like little puzzles or riddles that make you think and feel things in a very short time. They can be funny, sad, scary, or anything in between, and they help us practice our imagination and creativity.
