Microfiction is a type of Flash Fiction that is under 500 words. One very popular example of microfiction is by Earnest Hemingway "For sale: baby shoes, never worn," while one of the saddest examples it is the best one.

Two subcultures of microfiction include nanofiction and twitter fiction, both are trying to make short stories using very small amounts of words.

Microfiction can be a challange, to make a compelling story in under 500 words, that being said very few even 500 word ones turn out like Earnest Hemingway's microfiction.
