Can you recommend some good short flash fiction stories?
Yes. 'Cat Person' by Kristen Roupenian is a well - known short flash fiction story. It explores modern relationships in a really relatable way. Then there's 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman which is a classic. It delves into the mental state of a woman in a very short span. Also, 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas' by Ursula K. Le Guin is a thought - provoking short story that presents a moral dilemma.
Sure. 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson is a great one. It's a short but powerful story that shows how blindly following tradition can lead to horror. Another is 'A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings' by Gabriel García Márquez. It has magical realism elements and makes you think about how we treat the different and the unknown. And 'Hills Like White Elephants' by Ernest Hemingway is also excellent. It tells a lot through the subtext in a short space.
