And then what happened after she shot the intruder? Who was the intruder?

Cesca, that’s the end of the story, hun. A Flash Fiction is supposed to give the very barest beginning, middle and end. It’s a real challenge to write one. You give just enough information to tell a complete and interesting story with no extras.

In my story ending, the reader is told the intruder was shot, police were called, and the victim is A-okay.

The end.

No one is left hanging, Connie. Please read it again. She shot the intruder.

I guess I read it so fast, I must have skipped over that part! Sorry about that.

No problem, Connie. Flash fiction is so short, it’s easy to miss something important.

It’s a challenge to write Flash Fiction but I love it. ❤️💕😊

I love the twist at the end. Now, I get to fantasize about who she shot.
