Flash fiction
Flash fiction is a style of fictional literature of extreme brevity.〔Cohen, Elizabeth. "Flash fiction strives for big impact with few words". ''Press & Sun-Bulletin''. Aug 13, 2000, Living p. 1〕 There is no widely accepted definition of the length of the category. Some self-described markets for flash fiction impose caps as low as fifty three words, while others consider stories as long as a thousand words to be flash fiction.
==Terms==
Many terms for this category exist, including ''micro fiction'', ''micro narrative'', ''micro-story'', ''postcard fiction'', ''short short'', ''short short story'', and ''sudden fiction'', though distinctions are sometimes drawn among some of these terms. For example, sometimes 1000 words is considered the cutoff between "flash fiction" and the slightly longer short story "sudden fiction". The terms "micro fiction" and "micro narrative" are sometimes defined as below 300 words, and include these diminutive subcategories: the drabble (100 words), nanofiction (55 words), and Twitter fiction, aka twitterature (140 characters, or about 23 words).
The term "short short story" was the most common term from the early 20th century until about 2000, when it was overtaken by "flash fiction."
One of the first known usages of the term "flash fiction" in reference to the literary style was the 1992 anthology ''Flash Fiction: Seventy-Two Very Short Stories''. Editor James Thomas stated that the editors' definition of a "flash fiction" was a story that would fit on two facing pages of a typical digest-sized literary magazine.〔Thomas, James. Thomas, Denise. Hazuka, Tom. ''Flash Fiction: seventy-two Very Short Stories''. Norton, 1992.〕 In China the style is frequently called a "smoke long" or "palm-sized" story, with the comparison being that the story should be finished before the reader could finish smoking a cigarette.〔Batchelor, Bob. ''Cult Pop Culture: How the Fringe Became Mainstream''. Praeger, 2011, p 81.〕
