Micro-Fictions Collection

Each of these flash fictions consist of 50 words (titles not included):

Politics For Beginners

Unbeknownst to all, the children held a power over this world. The adults had ruined things so much over the years, that the shape of the future was more in a state of flux than it ever had been. They wouldn’t stand for it much longer. They’d bring the rebellion.

 

Mona’s Calls

 

I don’t get Mona’s calls anymore. The professional sounding men and women used to call me up to do business with Mona, but I haven’t heard from them for over a year now. I guess she finally realised she’d given out the wrong number, or maybe she changed her phone.

 

Falling

He took the step forward from the roof edge; his foot launching him from the plastic drainpipe. The air couldn’t hold him as he fell slowly. His mind relaxed and spoke softly to him:

 

‘Falling is the easy part.

It’s only the ground that’s hard.’

Author's Note

Given the task to write a piece of flash fiction (ie. to tell a story in 50 words), I ran with it and did three. Might make this a regular thing if I come up with more, in which case, this will be referred to as "Flash Fiction Collection #1"!

Reviews

[Miss unknown]

very interesting approach! They look sorta like three poems with each containing a story. Personally, I like "Falling" the most. :)
