Love and acceptance are common themes. Gay characters often struggle to find love and be accepted for who they are in society.
Another theme is identity. Flash fictions in this genre usually explore how gay individuals come to terms with their sexual identity. It might involve the journey from confusion to self - awareness, like a character realizing their feelings are different from the 'norm' and then learning to embrace it. It can also include the challenges they face in a world that may not be fully accepting.
One common theme is oppression. This can be seen in the form of a totalitarian government or a strict social hierarchy that limits people's freedom. For example, in many dystopian stories, there are restrictions on speech, movement, or even thought. Another theme is the loss of individuality. In a dystopian society, people might be forced to conform to a certain standard, like in 'Harrison Bergeron' where everyone is handicapped to be equal. Also, environmental decay is often a theme. The world might be a polluted, desolate place due to over - consumption or some technological disaster.
One common theme could be the exploration of their relationship dynamics. How they support each other in a different context than the original stories. Another might be the acceptance they face or don't face within their superhero world.
One common theme is isolation. Characters in these stories often feel alone, like in 'Hills Like White Elephants' where the couple seems to be in their own isolated world of unspoken issues. Another theme is despair. For example, in 'The Lottery', the townspeople's acceptance of a brutal practice shows a sense of despair. Also, loss is a theme, whether it's the loss of identity as in 'The Metamorphosis' or the loss of hope like in 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge'.
Power is a common theme. Witches often possess magical powers, and in flash fiction, it could be about how they use or misuse these powers in a short span of the story. For example, a witch might use her power to get revenge on a wrongdoer in just a few paragraphs.
Love is also a common theme. Flash fictions may revolve around the idea of loving Taylor's music deeply, or it could be about a romantic relationship inspired by her lyrics. Maybe two people meet at a Taylor Swift concert and fall in love because they share a passion for her music.
One common theme is fear. Since Halloween is associated with spooky things, stories often play on people's fears, like fear of the unknown in an abandoned house. Another theme is transformation, for example, a person turning into a werewolf or a vampire on Halloween night. Also, the theme of mystery is prevalent, such as a strange object found in a haunted attic that holds a dark secret.
Control is a common theme. The government or a powerful entity often exerts extreme control over the people, like in '1984' by George Orwell. Another theme is the loss of individuality. People are made to conform, as seen in 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley. Oppression is also prevalent, where certain groups are mistreated, for example, in 'The Hunger Games' series.
One common theme is the moral lesson. Like in 'The Tortoise and the Hare', it's about not being overconfident. Another theme is survival, as seen in stories where animals face challenges in the wild. Also, cooperation can be a theme, such as when animals work together to achieve a goal, like in some stories about ants.
One common theme is revenge from the beyond. Ghosts in these stories often come back to seek revenge for something that happened to them in life.
Love and loss are common. In just 300 words, one can show a brief encounter that leads to love and then its sudden end. Another theme is self - discovery. A character might have a small moment of realization within the short story. Also, survival in a difficult situation can be a theme. For example, a person trapped in a small space for a short time and how they cope.
