extremely short stories

Here are some recommended short stories that are extremely heartbreaking: " I Heard You Came From Moonlight ": This is a heart-wrenching, unconventional short story with an exciting plot that makes one's heart ache. 2. " Mr. Fang, Please Let Go for the Rest of Your Life ": This was a heart-wrenching storyline that tugged at one's heartstrings. 3. " Love You, A Prosperous Dream ": This novel tells the story of how Ye Qiao sacrificed everything to marry Xu Zhi Shen, but eventually realized that there was no future between them. These novels were all about heartbreak, and the plot was compact and touching.

They are concise. Usually, they convey a complete idea or a small moment in just a few sentences or paragraphs.

Another characteristic is simplicity. They often have a simple plot that can be easily understood. A short and simple situation like the snail getting mugged by turtles is easy to grasp and the absurdity of it is what makes it funny. The humor doesn't rely on complex setups or long explanations. Just a quick and simple scenario that tickles your funny bone.

There is a short story about a haunted doll. In the story, a family finds an old, porcelain doll in an attic. Strange things start to happen. The doll moves on its own at night, and its eyes seem to follow the family members. Another horror short story could be about a group of hikers who get lost in the woods and stumble upon an abandoned cabin. Inside, they find a diary that details the gruesome murders that took place there, and then they start to experience terrifying apparitions of the victims.

They are quick to tell, which is great when kids are already very sleepy. For example, a short story can calm them down fast without taking much time.

They are concise. They often rely on a single, powerful image or idea like a sudden noise in the dark. For example, 'I saw a face at the window. Then it was gone.'

Well, they often rely on common fears such as the unknown or things that go against the natural order. In an extremely short scary story, it might be something like 'The clock stopped at midnight. Then I heard a strange ticking from inside the wall.' It plays on our fear of the unexpected in a small space.

Intertextuality is also common. These short stories often reference other works of literature, art, or culture. They can borrow elements from different sources and remix them in a new and unexpected way. This creates a rich tapestry of allusions and connections that add depth to the short, postmodern form.

One top market is 'Clarkesworld Magazine'. It often features short stories, and very short ones have a chance to be included. Another is 'Lightspeed Magazine'. They are open to different lengths of stories, and very short ones can fit well. Also, self - publishing on your own blog can be a good market. You can build your own audience who are specifically interested in your very short stories.

Literature has the power to influence and shape society. Works with excessive erotic description do not contribute positively to the cultural and moral fabric. We should encourage literature that enriches the mind, promotes understanding, and inspires positive change rather than those with inappropriate content.
