About FlashFictions.com
FlashFictions.com is a monthly storytelling experiment.
Each month, five very short stories are published — all under 300 words. Four are written by humans. One is written by AI.
Readers don’t know which is which.
That’s the game.
But it’s also something else.
Can we still tell the difference?
Artificial intelligence can now produce essays, articles and fiction in seconds. Authorship is no longer obvious — and sometimes not even relevant at first glance.
FlashFictions.com exists to explore that uncertainty.
Is this about quality?
Not really.
This is not a competition to crown the “best” story. If one is brilliant, that’s a bonus. If one is awkward, uneven or strange, that’s interesting too.
Because the real question isn’t “Is this good?”
It’s “Who do we believe wrote this — and why?”
Why under 300 words?
Because brevity exposes everything.
In a short space there’s nowhere to hide — no room for waffle, repetition or disguise. Voice reveals itself quickly. So do our assumptions.
Some readers are certain.
Some hesitate.
Some argue passionately.
Some change their minds completely.
All previous games remain archived, forming a quiet record of how perception shifts over time.
This isn’t about catching anyone out.
It’s about curiosity — and instinct.
About how we read now.
And one final question —
Was this page written by AI — or by a human?
