Flash Fictionary Five-0
Flash Fiction is a piece of fiction known for its brevity. In this work of total imagination, the author, Glen Barham MBE, takes it a step further. Initially a 2020 lockdown project, this compendium has fifty stories, and each has exactly seventy-five words. No more, no less. The title doesn't count, and hyphenated words count as one.
Some stories tell everything, while others just scratch the surface and raise more questions than they answer. Meet Mrs Gillespie - the violin teacher, Bazza - the security officer, and Samuel - the research scientist, amongst others. You'll also find a fair few stories inspired by the difficult times brought on by COVID-19.
