		personlurking on Nov 20, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Shortest Papers Ever Published (2016) I like the idea of flash non-fiction, but I never seem able to find much about it. Not one-liners, rather in the 3-5 paragraph range, which might be understood as being an article (ex. newspaper/magazine), only articles are usually longer. I'd love to find an example of a media outlet that does such a thing, albeit with mid/high-brow content.

365 tomorrows might be the right length for you: https://365tomorrows.com/ (only science fiction)

I once had a directory with huge number of fiction books, and I've sorted it by size asc. Most of the first few dozens of entries were amusing.
