It’s the first of June 2023, so I went through my social media feeds and grabbed all of the MicroStories I’d tweeted during the month of May. (Full disclosure, the last time I collected any of my flash fiction tweets was in May of 2022 – I did do some sporadic microstory tweeting during the interim before last month, but it was so sparse I have collected those random lonely stories and added to the ones I did tweet in May. I’ll try to do better.)

As a reminder, these represent story-essences composed using no more than 269 characters (so I could tweet them with the hashtag #MicroStory.)
Usually, I only tweet Science Fiction and Fantasy #MicroStories. May was no exception. I guess?
For really great #MicroStory action, please follow @MicroSFF, the Twitter account that inspired me to participate in this minimalist writing exercise. That feed puts out great science fiction and fantasy MicroStories all the time.
