Illustrated flash fiction by Börkur Sigurbjörnsson.
Flash fiction is also known as very short stories and micro fiction, and the stories are, as the names suggest, 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.
The stories can be read for free online in English, Spanish and Icelandic. A selection can also be found in the anthology Flash 52.
