Creative Writing: Flash Fiction

My attempt to follow Hemingway's flash fiction structure. Here goes...


Missing:
17 year old Sarah Adams. Last seen on Saturday night with 21 year old Timothy Jones.

  1. Not gonna lie, this is actually pretty sad. The content, I mean, in an emotional way. This definitely has a story behind it. It made me think of an all points bulletin or an amber alert, which, I'm assuming, was the intent.

  2. I agree with zach this is a great piece just rather sad content

  3. It may be short, but it's a "real" piece of work. Can't go anywhere nowadays without seeing those flyers posted. Heartbreaking stuff, especially at that age

  4. I think you definitely recreated what Hemingway originally did here. That short sentence really does tell a much larger story than just the few words that appear.

  5. I, too, enjoyed this. There's so much that the imagination can run with here. I think you definitely created a flash fiction piece here. Good Job!
