Intro
Flash fiction is a world of its own—a single moment in time, a fleeting glimpse, a spark of imagination. Each of the stories in this anthology has been crafted to stand alone, offering you a complete experience in just a few pages. As you move through these tales, I invite you to pause between each one. Let yourself reset and enter each story with fresh eyes and an open mind.
One of the joys of flash fiction is how quickly it can take you somewhere new. In just a handful of words, you might find yourself in the middle of a magic spell, a heartfelt confession, or a mystery waiting to be unraveled. But these stories aren’t meant to be rushed. Savor each one individually—like a bite of your favorite dessert.
And while this is just the beginning, Once Upon a Short is a collection with more to come. Volume 1 is a taste of what lies ahead, and I can’t wait for you to join me in future volumes where more stories will unfold.
Whether this is your first anthology or you’re a seasoned reader, I hope you find a spark of something special in these pages. Thank you for taking this journey with me.
Happy reading!
