Write a piece of flash fiction where the most important event occurs right before the story begins.

With this prompt, the core event has already occurred “off-screen,” and the narrative revolves around the aftermath or repercussions. This technique allows for exciting storytelling, particularly in flash fiction where word count is limited. You get to delve deeply into the impacts and ramifications of the event, fostering a sense of intrigue and curiosity in your readers.
