Your challenge is to write a flash fiction story that begins with a mystery and abruptly ends with a solution no one saw coming.
The essence of this prompt is misdirection; a narrative twist that leaves the reader in a sense of “aha” surprise. In such a compact story format, how can you lead your readers down one path and astound them with your resolution? What subtle things can you introduce early on in the story that, although insignificant at first, become pivotal towards the end?
