Can You Tell A Story In…

I love a bit of flash fiction – stories told in 100, 250, 500 words, but what about a bite-size flash fiction story? Well, I can write a 50-word story, I hear you cry. But how about a ten-word story?

Here’s mine:

“Yes!” Eyes dancing, she punched the air. £5000 lottery win.
