While I was reading the stories on the flash fiction web site ">http://www.tangents.co.uk/50words/, it seemed to me that they were very depressing. Not all of them, because I definetly did not read every single one, but for the most part they were very bitter. The story that was titled "Bitter Sweet" really sent a chill up my spine. The few stories that I read seemed to always be talking about dead bodies and not much sadness for them. The mood was very sad. I did enjoy reading the stories because it was interesting to read because i could not figure out what would make the author write like this.

I agree with you, most of the flash fiction that I also read were sad and depressing, but don't let that discourage you from writing a joyful flash fiction. The flash fiction I wrote about was about this fun and memorable trip I took a couple of years ago. Flash fiction is like experimentation, it's fun!
