Arms thrust through earth long turfed. Desperate fingers grasp blindly. Fuelled by hunger, the dead push upward leaving none behind.

One of the most famous ( and amongst my favourite) 'flash' fiction stories comes from Ernest Hemingway.
For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
I bet he would have rocked twitter, especially twitfic
Another urban legend/ twit fic style stories is this amusing one ( I'm sorry, I couldn't find the definitive author on this)
For Sale : wedding dress, worn once by mistake.
By definition both of these are far too short to be classified as Twit fic ( with under 50 characters used in either); but it begs the question to all short story writers - do we put too much padding into our work? I feel a blog post coming on....
