There are a million different names for various lengths of fiction. Most commonly there is the flash fiction length which can be anywhere between 250 and 1000 words. I’ve been seeing a lot of reproductions of the “write a story in 6 words” challenge, so I thought I’d give it a go. The title isn’t included in the word count (they often aren’t) but it is essential to the story, so don’t throw a red flag because of it.
