The Flashku
I created the Flashku in 2021.
A Flashku is a short piece of flash fiction (50–100 words) inspired by an image. It contains minimal descriptions and uses seven words borrowed from another piece. The climax should be reached at about 80% through the story, while the ending must contain a positive / inspirational twist or resolution.
