The Urban Volcano publishes illustrated flash fiction (a.k.a. very short stories and micro fiction) by Börkur Sigurbjörnsson. The stories are, as the name suggests, very short and simple: from one paragraph to a single page. They are snapshots of a brief moment in the daily life, often revealing a curious character, an interesting situation or a brief funny dialog. All the stories can be read for free online in English, Spanish and Icelandic. A selection can also be found in the flash fiction collection Flash 52.
