Can you give some examples of very short micro fiction?

Well, here are some. 'She left her umbrella. It became a home for a little frog.' And also 'The clock stopped. His life started anew.'

Here's an example for micro fiction: 'She opened the box. Empty. Heartbreak.' It's extremely concise. Now for flash fiction. 'John was late for work. He ran to the bus stop. Missed the bus. Decided to walk. Along the way, he saw a cat stuck in a tree. He rescued it. When he finally got to work, his boss was so impressed by his kindness that he didn't scold him for being late.' Flash fiction has a sequence of events, while micro fiction is more about a single, impactful moment.

One example could be 'The Little Prince'. The main character is small in stature compared to the adults he encounters, and his story is full of profound insights. Another might be some short stories where a short - statured detective uses his wits instead of physical strength to solve crimes.

Sure. 'A Sound of Thunder' by Ray Bradbury is a great example. It's a science - fiction short story that explores the concept of time travel and the consequences of small actions. 'Hills Like White Elephants' by Ernest Hemingway is also popular. It's a minimalist story that leaves a lot to the reader's interpretation, mainly dealing with the relationship between a man and a woman.

The theme of power is often seen. It can be about a character's struggle for power, or how power corrupts. The theme of dreams and aspirations is also common. Characters may have big dreams that they are either trying to achieve or are being thwarted in their attempts. And of course, the theme of war, which can show the horror, the heroism and the consequences of armed conflict.

Sure. 'A young wizard's adventures at a magical school' could be a short description for the 'Harry Potter' series. Another one might be 'A girl's journey through a strange, upside - down world' which could describe 'Alice in Wonderland'.

Sure. A characteristic example is the use of sparse but impactful description. In modern short fiction, authors don't waste words on excessive details. Instead, they use just enough to set the mood and context. Another is the exploration of diverse voices. Stories might be told from the perspective of an immigrant, a marginalized person, or someone dealing with mental health issues.

Sure. 'Sci - fi' movies like 'Blade Runner' are a great example. It shows a future world with advanced technology and androids. Another one is 'The Matrix' which has a complex science - fictional concept about a simulated reality.

Examples of short fiction forms include the short story. Hemingway's 'Hills Like White Elephants' is a famous short story. Flash fiction is exemplified by works where the author quickly gets to the point in just a few lines. The vignette form can be found in some contemporary literature where the focus is on a very specific moment, such as a moment of realization or a brief encounter.

Sure. There could be a short fictional account of a boss who constantly undermines an employee's work in front of others for no good reason. Also, a story where a group of friends exclude one person from their activities just because they think they're different, which is a form of meanness.
