The history of fiction has been dominated by the novel and the short story. But now there is this seemingly brave new genre around: very brief fiction. It has been called Sudden, Micro, Skinny, Hyper, Mini, Short-Short, Minute, Instant, Nano, Pill-size, Pocket-size, Postcard, and Furious. This is fiction approaching haiku, the art of few words and many suggestions.

FLASH will identify the qualities that make for excellent very short stories, will demystify the writing process, and will guide the writer by exercise and example into and through the world of the very short story. John Dufresne's characteristic warmth, wit, and humor remind the writer of the joy in the creative process, making this a perfect guide for both the novice exploring the art of fiction and the seasoned writer interested in trying a new form.

Carefully measure your size
Size: Large, Color: Ocean Blue
So difficult to get over my shoulders I guess it's a little small for me. Comfortable but I don't want to take it off or put it on

Larger than life
Size: X-Large, Color: Ocean Blue
The fit is large! So go down a size. It’s soft and seems like good quality, but absolutely huge

Very good quality sports bra.
Size: Large, Color: Navy
Very good sports bra. It is high quality and made well. It is a full coverage bra which gives it good support but also makes it a little hot especially in warmer temperatures but at the same time it is very nice for cooler temps.

Supportive and Comfortable but Size Down!
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy
Very supportive for the big chested girlies! Material is comfortable and sweat wicking. I’d recommend sizing down for a snug fit.

Nice fabric, comfortable, easy maintenance
Special Size: 27.5" Full Length, Size: Large, Color: Taupe, Special Size: 27.5" Full Length, Size: Large, Color: Taupe
I ordered a medium and they’re actually a size large. And they are just too large. I should’ve gotten the small, as recommended I thought I was ordering medium and I think I would’ve been OK with a medium, but where I usually wear a small and they sent me a large. It was just ridiculously large. They are lightweight and they are warm. I’m a senior and I’m thin so I get cold very easily especially in early morning and evening, so I like to wear them in the morning for my walks/yoga , they also work nicely under a longish skirt so it’s not so sheer… will definitely get more but will go with the small size. Just for reference, I’m 5 foot seven I usually wear a small or a size 5/6 usa size so these were too large, particularly in the waist just overall they were too large, but I think even if I got a small size they’re still gonna be kind of large in the stomach. I have an hourglass shape just for reference, but they are very comfortable, and I love the fabric. I am keeping them because I like the fabric and I really need them. I just will not wear them out of the house right now because they’re not fitting properly but next go round we’ll get the right size. Price was right they were having a sale so it was a bit of an impulse buy. But hello it was only 10 bucks! so that’s why it’s not worth sending it back for me. Overall, very nice quality and would recommend. Cats like the fabric too! 😸
