The 100-word Blast!

Edward J. Woolsey | 1869100-Word Blasts

I have a couple of 100-word micro fictions forthcoming in SubTerrain’s next issue.

I had so much fun writing these, I thought I would share this prompt with you. I also did the prompt with my fiction class, and they got terrific results.

This is a constraint, but it has a lot of flexibility and freedom, which is why it is perfect for me.

Also I like to write micro.

So go at it—write a 100-words of something—a story, a poem, a dialogue.

Share your blast in the comments!
