Generate a Micro-Fiction Piece from a Single Image Prompt

Flash fiction has to do everything a novel does in the space of a long text message. This writes one complete piece under 200 words: a character and situation in two sentences, a turn at the middle that shifts what you thought, and an ending that makes the opening read differently. For writers practising the short form.
