This glass border is translucent, making it so the scene in the snow globe is both entirely contained, and interacting with the world outside. Flash, to me, is the same. There is a complete world, scene, moment, etc. within the piece. There is also an element of it only being a part of a whole. A single raindrop in a storm. 

A Moment

Choose a single moment between two people, either fiction or non-fiction, as long as it is a single moment. What incited this moment? What is its conclusion? Think immediate. If the moment is a tearful reunion, what are the immediate inciting incidents? Is one arriving home to the other, are they meeting somewhere, what is their relationship? Keep it close, try to picture your moment in a snow globe, and what you might guess from the way the characters are posed, dressed, etc.

Limit yourself to 600 words, maximum. And, if you’d like, take the prompt one layer further by stepping away from it for at least a day, then coming back to edit. When you edit, don’t add. Concentrate on tightening and subtracting.

Then, if you want, give it at least another day before you consider additions. Just to make sure they’re totally necessary.
