You are very welcome. What is your strength?

Thanks so much, Cate. Wouldn't it be amazing if others followed your lead? =)

Great question, and you don't sound like a green bean to me. Ideal flash fiction is a complete story written in 750 words or less.

Ernest Hemingway did one in six words. "For Sale: Baby shoes. Never worn." Think about the images that brings up. This particular story is open to interpretation, but it's very clear that the baby died or was kidnapped and the parents are getting rid of reminders.

Give it a try, Terry. It's an easy way to get some feedback from someone who's not familiar with your work.

Who knows? I may try my hand at this. Looks good.
