Flash Fiction chosen by Mark Dennis Anderson

“The Downed” by Becca Borawski Jenkins via conc?s

An incredible specimen of micro-flash that suggests so much using so little. I love how, depending on how one chooses to read it, it can be either dark/dramatic or dark/comedic.

“Restraint” by Michael Conley via The Pygmy Giant

I love how this captures what I (and presumably many others) imagine/feel from time to time while observing others in public. Attention writers: Use this as a writing prompt!

“Luke Makes a Martini” by Rebecca Chekouras via Pure Slush

Narrowly focused with engaging, sensory description, this delightful flash fiction story pulls you in, kisses your forehead, then hilariously slaps you across the face.

“The Egg” by Regan Smith via REVOLVER READER

Flash fiction like this demonstrates just how powerful surrealism and metaphor can be to convey deep human emotion while simultaneously telling a vivid, entertaining story.
