Hint fiction

Hint fiction is an extremely short literary work, typically no more than twenty-five words, that hints at a longer, more complex story.

Hint fiction（即中文的"微小说"）指极其简短的文学作品,基本不超过25个字,但却隐含着一个更长更复杂的故事情节.

Those very, very, very, VERY short stories are all the reader is ever given. Just a hint. Not a scene, or a setting, or even a character sketch. They are given a hint, nothing more, and are asked — nay, forced — to fill in the blanks.

读者看到的只是一个特别特别短的故事.这只是一个提示.不是场景,不是故事背景,也不是人物描写.读者读到提示,然后需要自己去填充缺失的故事情节.

A hint fiction titled Progress:

After seventeen days she finally broke down and called him "Daddy."

以上为一篇名为《进展》的"微小说"： 17天以后,她终于招架不�.辛怂簧�"爸爸".
