I first read some microfictions in the second week of class and found them so cool and unique. I was also suprised I had never heard of them before. Even before I found that this was an assignment option I had gone and looked up some microfictions of my own for fun!
I think microfictions are a great way to get a point across in a simple form because so often in today's world (even in quarantine it seems) people are constantly going as fast as they can and won't read anything if its too long. I also had the opportunity to read a classmates microfictions from the Biblical stories unit and thought they were great.
The Tiny Tales from India were probably my favorite just becuase most of them contained some really interesting and fun animal characters. These microfictions also all reminded me of stories I heard as a kid that had a moral to the story and taught a lesson.
Of course I also really enjoyed the Tiny Love Stories. I am a sucker for romantic stories and often find myself choosing romantic mystery novels. However, I am not a huge fan of the cheesy stuff and interestingly enough found some really good ones in this New York Times post. I am definitely planning to bookmark this page due to the fact that it is continually updated with new stories each week.
The Micro-Microfictions or 6 word stories were also great. These ones often had me laughing and had never thought that you could tell your life story in a simple six words. I even pondered on this one for quite sometime on how I could write my story and six words and couldn't come up with it so I will definietly be revisiting this.
