Each 100 Word Challenge is an exercise in flash fiction, micro fiction is more accurate. The Challenge is to write a story using only 100 words… not 99, not 101… 100 only. The limitation will force you to make good word choices, and learn where to cut out extraneous details.
Take the challenge. It’s only 100 words.
