Flash Fiction chosen by Mark Anderson
“Green on the Inside” by Star Spider via Flash Fiction Online
I love how this flash fiction story demonstrates a skillful commitment to characterization through sensory description while keeping the context and background of the main character peripheral and ambiguous.
“The Sun and the Pacific” by Rose Gowen via American Short Fiction
Some argue that flash fiction needs to have a clear, discernible plot in order to work. I disagree. For me, excellent flash fiction only needs is a clear beginning, middle, and end, all of which can happen while lying in a hammock.
“Ice Cream” by Alan Beard via Spelk
This flash piece is a perfect example of the stories we don’t know are happening all around us. I am moved by the simplicity and the ambiguity of this story.
“Purple Smoke” by Matthew Trumbull via Postcard Shorts
I love this piece for its restraint and its structure. Simplicity like this is a skill.
