Necro Autobiographical Microfiction

Microfiction is a ludicrously short story, usually about 250 words. Microficticious works have all the same elements as regular works, but are forced to show them quicker. If novels are meant to be read over a month, novellas over a week, and short stories in one sitting, then microfiction is meant to be read in between sittings.

In high school, I wrote a series of autobiographical flash fiction (from 2-5 pages long) that always ended in my dying in a bizarre and unusual way.

I want to revive that.

From now on and for the next 29 rotations, I shall write a new Necro Autobiographic Microfictitious story every chance I get. Who’s ready for the adventure? I know I am.

Rules:

  1. each story should be perfectly consistent within its own reality
  2. no explanation shall be given for the deaths of the main character
  3. Pixelation Qyw Styx shall be the main and perhaps only character
  4. the stories will form a meaningful whole, not contradicting each other (except for the dead/alive problems)
  5. each story shall be able to be read independently of each other story.
  6. each story should be between 235 and 265 words.
  7. stories may be accurate and based on real-life events, but they are fiction, remember that.

Update: Moofruot has joined the fray. Her rules, as best as I can tell, are as follows:

  1. each story is perfectly consistent within its own reality.
  2. MFRT is the main and sometimes only character.
  3. each story can be read independent of any other.
  4. each story should be between 235 and 265 words.

… probably. I’m just giving her rules because she’s linking to me and that’s cool.
