Short fiction under pressure.
After spending years writing longer work, I realised improvement wasn’t going to come from waiting for perfect conditions. It would come from repetition, constraint, and finishing things.
This microfiction series is a weekly discipline built around a simple brief:
three prompts, one sitting, 100 words or fewer.
Each piece is written to pressure — limited space, limited time, no room for indulgence. The aim isn’t to explain everything, but to see what survives when excess is stripped away: voice, tension, character, implication.
The stories here are intentionally small and self-contained. Think of them as case files rather than polished artefacts — records of decisions made under constraint.
All entries are logged weekly on Instagram and archived here for reference.
