Trying to compress a novel-length story into flash length. Flash fiction is not a summary—it's a complete experience in miniature. Choose a scope that fits.
Relying entirely on a surprise ending. If the story only works with the twist, the preceding content isn't pulling weight. The journey should matter.
Beautiful prose without narrative movement. Flash fiction still needs change—something must be different by the end, even if subtle.
