Flash fiction is a style of fictional literature or fiction of extreme brevity. There is no widely accepted definition of the length of the category. Some self-described markets for flash fiction impose caps as low as three hundred words, while others consider stories as long as a thousand words to be flash fiction.17Clue SheetsGreat back-up in case of wireless outage!Library MapsNexus 7 Quick-Start GuidesPens/PencilsEnvelopesTeam SignsLaptops Utilized from Kimmel Lab (teaching classroom)Nexus 7 TabletsBlackboard Course Sites/WufooPrizes!
