Every time I think I’ve got this writing thing figured out, someone throws me for a loop. I’ve heard of flash fiction, twitter/tweet fiction, but hint ficton? What’s that?

Here’s the definition according to Robert Swartwood:

hint fiction (n) : a story of 25 words or less that suggests a larger, more complex story

Now, excuse me while I give this form of storytelling a try :)
